The conspiracy sweeps Zy'Lin and Zy'Soln into its clutches. The twins are on the run after being framed for murdering the people who raised them, the politically powerful Eigers. Everywhere Lin and Soln turn, the Protectorate is on their trail, and shady characters point them down a dubious path. Lin and Soln are unsure who to trust between the shadow of the Syndicate, the ever lurking presence of Gideon Daimont, the watchful Protectorate, and the rebellious people of Encary Moon. With the unlikely help of Protectorate office, Griel Marsil, Lin and Soln attempt to untangle the conspiratorial web wrapped tightly around them.
