When all light in the world fades, some step up to protect all; some do not step up until there is no one else to. When you fail to protect the emperor from the assassination that your family started, you become The Traitor In The North for no other reason than guilt by association. And the only way back is killing the men responsible. Evorix Vispanius’ family spent their entire lives with only one goal–protecting the emperor. When a terrible betrayal results in Emperor Tiberius’ death, Evorix has nothing left. The new Emperor Octavius Victorus, first of his name, has issued an edict. Evorix and all members of the Rebellium must die. He disappears into the wilds of the Batopian wilderness after his wife is executed without trial. And he is determined to drink himself into forgetfulness or death, whichever comes first. Hopefully, the latter happens first. But when his old friend and fellow Prefect Gius Flavius emerges from the shadows, Evorix is given a choice–continue to wallow in his failure, or become the hero Delos desperately needs. Evorix may be the last hope of a desperate people in need of a new light. His once illustrious family served as the emperor’s protector; now it’s Evorix’s turn to get some payback and avenge the death of his wife. If a man has no friends, one can never be betrayed. But can Evorix find it within himself to become the hero that he never wanted to be?
