Three nations, on the brink of war—none of whom can afford one. Orexa cannot let the capture and torture of one of her citizens by Ruzian authorities go unchallenged, but with no standing army and only a tentative treaty with Vasque on the books, King Vizick is left with little recourse but to summon representatives from the sister nations and pray diplomacy will win out in the end.But treachery snakes out from the woodwork before the Vasque delegation has even arrived at the Oresian fortress at Dunagrenn, and accusations fly fast in the direction of the Ruzian representatives. Will this meeting of nations succeed in averting a war—or merely start one?
