Joslyn Lys wants to disappear, and there is no better place for a would-be recluse than the vast and strictly regimented companies of the Imperial Army. She gets her wish, for a time, until she must travel deep into the dangerous and enigmatic Rheinash Peninsula. There, she must navigate the contentious relationship between her Empire and the peninsula’s translucent-skinned elven denizens alongside her eccentric companions, Bastard Company, as they struggle to build an aqueduct for the Rheinashi people. 

​

All the while, Wayn Aefyr, brother to the prince Joslyn killed, plots to uncover long-forgotten magical secrets. The whole world thinks him a madman for his obsession, but now backed by an army and his order of Knights Revenant, Wayn will stop at nothing to cross into the ruins of the Old Kingdom and raise himself to magical godhood.
