Six years have passed since the failed uprising of the High Holders, and Charyn, the rex’s heir, has come of age and sets out to educate himself, against his father’s wishes, on how to be an effective rex after his father. When privateers attack the rex’s ships, and threats escalate against the rex and his family, Charyn realizes that no one is safe--for an assassin stalks them all. The future of Solidar rests in Charyn’s hands. Will he rise to the challenge or will the kingdom descend into chaos?
