Extremely Intriguing
This is a brilliant piece of fiction. The characters are so vivid and well crafted that you can almost reach out and touch them. The psychological strain behind political games is shown on each side of the conflict. Our beloved Spymaster has his plans to save the empire, and is forced to face his own past and make the hard and harsh choices to save the throne.

Awesome Story
Full of action, suspense, intrigue, and betrayal. This is a great story. I was enthralled from the first page to the last.
