    About this ebook

    The Heptarchy is the ruthless empire ruled by the Seven Temples, seeking to feed all the world to their malevolent goddesses.

    The brutal legions of the Seven Temples were driven from the shores of Andomhaim, but their warships still prowl the southern coasts, raiding and looting.

    When Ridmark Arban rides to drive back a raid, he soon discovers an insidious plot.

    For the most powerful weapon of the Heptarchy is not its armies, but subtle and deadly treachery...
