Publisher's summary

The stories of the Elder Empire are told in a unique way.

If you’ve already listened to the other companion novels in the Elder Empire, then you know how this works. If not, you may wish to seek out those books for an explanation of how these parallel stories interact. Once you’re ready to proceed, here’s a glimpse of the road ahead....

Calder has been declared Imperial Steward, the official successor to the Emperor. He leads the Empire from the throne, just as he has always wanted.

In their tombs, the Great Elders stir.

The crack in the sky becomes more alarming by the day, so Calder and his loyal Imperialist Guilds seek a truce with their Independent opponents.

Both sides know the Elders are the true enemy, but that does not make peace easy. Blood has been spilled already, trust is hard to come by, and the Guild Heads under Calder see him as little more than a figurehead.

For civilization to survive, Calder must take the lead and prove himself to allies and enemies alike.

But he is faced with an ancient Guild of spies and assassins led by the one woman who most wants him dead: Shera of the Gardeners.

In the shadows, a woman plots to prolong a war. On the seas, a man works to end it.

Great Series

Will Wight is a master storyteller. In a world that doesn’t understand itself he brings reality in the form of fantasy. The strength of the moral tales he tells are among the best on the market today.
Excellent narration

It was a perfect story to listen to while cleaning the house and it didn’t matter if anybody overheard it

I didn’t mind that it would flashback and then come back to present time I didn’t really have trouble following that. I looked forward to listening to it but I could still hit the 30 seconds sleep timer and fall asleep without a problem so I really Appreciated that it was a good listen but not when I had to stay up all night to finish. It’s just the kind of action adventure drama type story that I like to listen to and the narrator did a great job too

Fantastic!

Will, you are a genius. I really enjoy every story that you write and how you tie them all in together. This one leaves me wanting more.

Keep up the good work!
