Two decades after the Interregnum, a veteran returns to an Empire that appears restored but still carries the scars of civil war. Old betrayals and unresolved crimes draw him into a private search for justice connected to powerful people who benefited from the earlier chaos.

The pursuit moves between frontier violence and political influence, showing how peace can preserve the fortunes of those who adapted quickest to disorder. Revenge offers a clear purpose, but every discovery complicates the distinction between guilt and survival. The story expands the imperial world through people living with the consequences of restoration rather than its official triumph.
