Summary
Two years after his ascension to power, Emperor Ling Yao finds himself locked in a headache of politics. While he fights for clan equality and the abolishment of the system of succession from the emperor before him, not all clans support him--namely, the most powerful ones comfortable in their privilege and influence. Ling stands on the edge of a knife, balancing between begrudging negotiations and all-out civil war. In the middle of it all, his old friend Greed reappears suddenly from the dead, making himself at home at Ling's palace, but remaining ambiguous in his reasons for staying at all. In an entire country full of allies and enemies that Ling cannot identify, will he be able to choose well who to trust?
