For twelve hundred years House Battlegaze has ruled the vast Morzädi Empire with a firm and steady hand. However, when three generations of the Emperor’s descendants suddenly end up dead, the Dwarven dynasty stands on the brink of collapse. The potential fall of House Battlegaze presents an opportunity for one of the other Houses to seize the crown. It is an opening not seen in more than a thousand years and one that could very well lead to civil war in the Dwarven lands.
Meanwhile, deep in the dredges of the empire’s capital, two unsuspecting Dwarves find themselves swept up in the deadly events of Imperial politics and royal scheming. Larali and Valnor learn quickly that some mysteries are too dangerous to solve but even more deadly if left unsolved. If they can find a way to work together, enlist allies, and put aside their clan rivalries and conflicting agendas they might solve the most audacious crime the empire has ever seen. If successful, they could even help avert a civil war. With a small miracle, they might even make it through Dwarven Clan Politics alive
