With her identity revealed, Liora is no longer able to hide. Her small band of allies has blossomed into a full rebellion. Both the princess and her fellow Garrison cadets live in exile, forced to stay on the move as they seek to fight back against the Praetorian Council.

And what she uncovers sets her on a path far greater than reclaiming an empire.
