Victoria lives on the fringes of the imperial lands on the last of her family money. Years of avoiding the Empire that dethroned her father are about to culminate in a revenge tale that has her on the inside the very forces that slaughtered her people. Political intrigue, succession, and betrayal take center stage as Victoria has to navigate a court of mythics, cruel monsters that have made a deal with the undying Sovereign and her demand of a lethal blood tax.
From indulgent wayfarer to subversive secret police, vengeance and rage seek to carry Victoria through the ranks and towards the Sovereign's throat.
