    Summary

    Kip Mdang returns to Solaara, hardly confident that the Imperial Service will take him back but sure that there is no place for him in the Vangavaye-ve.

    The City of Cities is still expanding from the backwater village it was before the Fall; the work of reconstruction continues but it is no longer a simple crisis. In the Palace the big political beasts are circling for position under the newly awakened Emperor.

    Despondent and determined to bury himself in work, Cliopher finds his former patron disapproving and the new Master of Offices openly hostile. But he is still a fifth degree secretary, and some problems are easier to solve when you feel that you have little left to lose... and don't care which enemies you make along the way.

    Summary

    Gaudy Vawen is leaving home to follow his uncle. Eldo Vardes is doing the same to defy his father. Zaoul wants to find the answers to questions only he is asking, and Tully wants to find problems only she can sort out. They collide in Solaara, where they find the Imperial Bureaucratic Service poised to aid the greatest transition in government since the Fall.

    And also, where they find themselves the somewhat-captive but very intrigued peanut gallery to the lives of both Cliopher Mdang and His Radiancy the Emperor.

    A retelling of parts of Hands of the Emperor through the the sometimes-comprehending, often-bemused, always-intrigued eyes of Gaudy, Tully, Zaoul, and Eldo as they grow and advance in the Service.

    Summary

    Kip was reading, or trying to read, to distract himself from his self-pity and the silence of the Palace all but emptied for Silverheart, when the earthquake hit and he was plunged into unfathomable darkness.

    Unfathomable, but not entirely unfamiliar. He was reminded of the time the rip current caught him, when he was twelve years old and trying to dive for a flame pearl against Buru Tovo's better judgment. Now, as then, he scrabbled for a grip on something, anything, as the darkness and the cold and the pressure intensified as he was swept down and down.

    Now, as then, he did slam against something eventually, but this time it wasn't a rock.

    It was another person.
