About This Book

A feudal galactic empire reestablished after a long interregnum forbids dangerous technologies while star-kings and warrior lords uphold order through force and blood. A prominent warlord from the periphery grows impatient after being dismissed by the new court's favorites and the emperor's ambitious consort, and he contemplates joining other disgruntled rulers in a grievance council that could lead to revolt. Court intrigue sidelines seasoned fighters while a grieving imperial daughter remains a possible alternative focal point for loyalty. The narrative examines the clash between martial honor and palace scheming, and how suppressed knowledge, personal loyalties, and pride threaten to ignite renewed conflict across the Empire.
