The Solar Nobility has complete control of the future of humanity. Their grip upon the people serves to only further their own goals and plentitudes. Inter-house warfare may be forbidden, but a complex, ever-shifting web of alliances and betrayals, marriages and isolations, creates a world unfit for the weak. Abel Varhagen, of the Varhagen family, is not the heir to his family's leadership. He is but a minor pawn for use in a political marriage, nothing more. But with discontent brewing with the system, he may soon yet find himself engulfed in something far greater than he could have imagined.
