Sinopsis

But no sooner does Martinez arrive at the capital than he finds himself entangled in intrigue, first by political enemies intending to deprive him of command, then by his own brother Roland, who wants to use him to further the ambitions of a Martinez dynasty.

Both sides claim the legitimacy of the Praxis, but the very real danger exists that there will be nothing left for the victors to rule…
