About This Book

The narrative depicts a dying, rust-red planet under assault by Terran invaders, where a secretive, masked aristocracy selects a young Captain, Telis, to lead the resistance, igniting bitter rivalry with Prince Brand. Courtly ritual, assassination plots, and martial honor intermingle as leaders prepare for desperate combat across desert wastes; a determined female warrior also takes part in the struggle, and episodes shift between political maneuvering and brutal battlefield scenes. Recurring concerns include a decaying ruling class, conflicting loyalties, and the clash of cultures as survival, vengeance, and pride propel characters into escalating violence.
