The floods are here, and though she has learned of an artifact that can stop them, Aletheia is no closer to finding it. Worse, a newly-destroyed city may be proof her enemies have found the artifact first, and are using its power to reshape the world. There’s only solution: infiltrate their temples and palaces and floating cities, steal the artifact if they have it, and kill them if the chance arises. It’s a team of five against an empire, but they’ve faced worse.

Burdened with visions of the end, mourning the loss of her allies, and desperate to save a lover trapped under her enemy’s control, Aletheia seeks aid in the opulent city-state of Dahran. A family friend there reveals the location of her father’s papers, the key to stopping the flood and understanding her enemy’s power. It seems like the perfect heist - until the friend betrays her, stealing the papers and locking Aletheia in a gladiator prison.

Things were finally looking up: escaped from the gladiator pits of Dahran, Aletheia not only has a new understanding of her enemies and a team of allies by her side, but her old lover back, miraculously escaped from prison, and bearing secrets from the inside.
