At the Empire’s northern edge lies Alba, an island whose wet terrain and independent peoples defeated a major expedition twenty years earlier. A renewed invasion is planned with better intelligence and greater determination, but commanders still underestimate the landscape and the memory of communities that resisted them before.

Soldiers, scouts and local leaders are drawn into a campaign where weather, supply and political division matter as much as battle. The novel uses the imperial attempt to conquer Alba to test the confidence of a restored state. Military superiority cannot guarantee control when every advance depends on alliances that may collapse once occupation begins.
