In the year and a half since Brannon regained the memories of the last Emperor, the world has spiraled into chaos. Civil war is all but certain in multiple Nation-States, and both he and Tallis are being worked to the bone, leaving Brannon no time to search for the Divine Right that will allow him to assume the throne. As if that weren't bad enough, the cases he and Tallis are being assigned seem hand-picked to prevent him from doing just that. The case assignments are done by the Oracle, one of the three most powerful Warders in the world. If he's been corrupted, there may be no way to stop him, and the Warders may be torn apart from the inside.
