In a empire at war, and in a city beset by famine and unrest, she must prove herself worthy of its throne.A decade after a first, brief meeting, their lives intersect again. When a delegation arrives from the lost West, asking Eudekia for sanctuary for a princess and support for a desperate war, Druisius is assigned to guard them.
