From the book jacket:
SOLAMNIA THE EMPIRE
A loyal vassal betrayed seeks revenge through any means.
A woman trapped takes the chance of freedom, only to become a weapon.
A leader who achieved everything only to become bitter and cruel faces a threat he never expected.
For a moment it seems that Solamnia has found
peace, but that peace is shattered quickly by the
revolts caused by the emperor's harsh treatment of his lands and people. The return of old enemies
with new allies and new treachery means that the
emperor must make a stand to save the nation he created. Solamnia will fall if the emperor does, but the emperor cannot hold without his allies.
