    Summary

    “Kip, there you are, thank goodness — oh, you really needn’t bother, it’s so tiresome, isn’t it —” as his Radiancy’s hand moved in that habitual gesture to tell Cliopher to stand — “and I’ve begun already, I suppose going an entire thirty seconds without blurting out something I didn’t wish to would be too long to ask, wouldn’t it, not this spell’s style.” Cliopher rose and stared at his Radiancy, who had returned to pacing, faster than his usual habit, feet moving as quickly as his mouth, which had not yet stopped speaking. “And I must say, well, am compelled to say, I suppose, that I feel terrifically stupid for falling prey to any kind of hostile spell at all — I suppose it could be a poison but that seems unlikely when I know Ludvic and Rhodin have procedures for checking my food, and even if I do feel very foolish for missing something in my own area of expertise I suppose it’s better to feel foolish than to have Ludvic or Rhodin or both come to prostrate themselves to me with their deepest apologies, it always frightens me when they do that —”

    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.
