Synopsis
Geder Palliako's star is rising: protector to the crown prince and darling of the Antean court. But an unseen influence is guiding his ascent, and a war it is quietly engineering follows close behind. Cithrin, now a founder of a banking house built on stolen wealth and forged papers, finds every move she makes watched and controlled -- unless the coming war gives her a way out of her gilded cage.
