Synopsis
Continuing the previous book, with the same narrator now writing later and in a saner state, this novel centres on Empress Justina of Untunchilamon. Her enemy Aldarch the Third has won the political struggle on Yestron, and she must survive and hold power long enough to flee with her supporters. The two Untunchilamon books share a narrator who is a different person from the narrators of the earlier novels.
