When her brother is arrested for treason, Laia goes undercover as a slave at the empire’s greatest military academy in exchange for assistance from rebel Scholars who claim that they will help to save her brother from execution.

When Laia and Elias’s paths cross at the academy, they find that their destinies are more intertwined than either could have imagined as well as that their choices will change the future of the empire itself.
