The Guilds are in a state of open war, her Consultants have been forced to relocate from their ancestral home, and Elder cultists plague the streets.In their tombs, the Great Elders stir.With the sky cracked and more Elders rising than ever before, Shera and her faction of Independent Guilds seek a truce with their Imperialist opponents.But they know that any alliance is a gamble. The Imperialists have appointed Calder Marten to the throne, and history has proven that a single ruler is vulnerable to Elder corruption.Even so, Shera and her allies want to bring the division to an end…if the enemy Guilds are willing to cooperate.And if Calder hasn’t been corrupted already.On the seas, a man clings to his own power.In the shadows, a woman fights for peace.
