War built the Kisian Empire. War will tear it down.

---

Seventeen years after rebels stormed the streets, factions divide Kisia. Only the firm hand of the god-emperor holds the empire together. But when a shocking betrayal destroys a tense alliance with neighboring Chiltae, all that has been won comes crashing down.

-

In Kisia, Princess Miko Ts'ai is a prisoner in her own castle. She dreams of claiming her empire, but the path to power could rip it, and her family, asunder.

-

In Chiltae, assassin Cassandra Marius is plagued by the voices of the dead. Desperate, she accepts a contract that promises to reward her with a cure if she helps an empire fall.

-

And on the border between nations, Captain Rah e'Torin and his warriors are exiles forced to fight in a foreign war or die.

---

As an empire dies, three warriors will rise. They will have to ride the storm or drown in its blood.
