Summary
Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.
But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.
The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.

Summary
Edrehasivar VII has survived the first few months of his reign, and his household with him. But it doesn't stop there. With a bridge to build, his marriage on the horizon, and the reigns of an empire in his hands, will Edrehasivar forge a new way for the Ethuveraz, or will he be consumed by it?
