"Lin Sukai has won her first victory as Emperor, but the future of the Phoenix Empire hangs in the balance--and Lin is dangerously short of allies. As her own governors plot treason, Lin faces renewed hostilities from the Shardless Few. Worse still, Lin's old nemesis, Nisong, has joined forces with the rogue Alanga Ragan. Both seek her death.
