About this title

Synopsis

7,680 years ago, humanity was imprisoned for over 2500 years by the shape-shifting Dwad-Mehstiv. Then came the Morgase Insurrection and freedom for humans with the help of the alien Drek. The Noble Houses arose out of the ashes of the Wars of Conquest, The Church of the Blessed Prophets arose out of the War of Religious Independence from the Drek, and the Imperium arose to bind them together. When the Emperor of the Imperium is assassinated, chaos descends on the human community and The Church of the Blessed Prophets begins the brutal road back to its former commanding position while an enemy long thought extinct, returns to exact revenge. This is the world into which Ailanthus and Tethys find themselves, imprisoned in one of the most fearsome penal colonies in the Imperium. With the chance to escape at hand, the two men and their odd-assortment of friends slowly begin to understand that their roles in the future of humanity is far larger than they ever thought possible.
