Actually the alien invaders won't be beaten back by the formidable might of the Tsurani Empire. And in far Stardock city, two boys—untrained, unready, and hardly come of age—will be asked from the Conclave of Shadows to face a sinister plan that implicates actually the greatest-ranking nobles in the area. To get a headache of treason, murder, and interest is making among an old Brotherhood of Death—a family of cruel assassins whose name is spoken only in frightened whispers.
