Fletcher sits in Pelt's dungeons with his demon Ignatius, twelve months after the Tournament ended. The Inquisition summons him to trial, and the judges want his blood. These powerful accusers control the proceedings and seek Fletcher's destruction at every turn. The trial uncovers buried secrets about Fletcher's birth and family history that shake everything he believed about himself. But Fletcher cannot focus on these revelations for long. The king demands that Vocans graduates undertake a deadly assignment in the orc territories. Fletcher and his fellow students must venture into hostile jungles where orcs wait to kill them. Success means the Empire survives. Failure means orcish forces will grow stronger than anyone has witnessed before. Fletcher must survive both the courtroom and the wilderness to protect everything he values.
