Empire's Reckoning

Why are there so many secrets in this family?" Home from cadet training, fourteen-year-old Gwenna demands an answer. Her classmates whisper of her father's betrayals and her mother's unhappiness, but the truth is far more complex. Over a summer's journey, facing a revived threat of revenge from the north, Sorley confronts his own painful memories as he weaves for Gwenna a tale of sacrifice and generosity, anger and love, intertwined with the dangerous politics of both past and present.
