    Summary

    In a world where Auguste is King with Laurent as his most trusted advisor, the prospect of a devastating war is looming over Vere. To avoid it, an alliance with the isolated, "barbaric" nation of Akielos seems to be the only way forward. Scheming and politics would have to meet in the middle ground of the reciprocal traditions, if Chieftain Nikandros and Damen are to be convinced.

     

    "A king that begs, his father’s voice reminded him, can’t hold a crown on his head.

    In Arles, this would have been interpreted as begging. In Arles, Auguste would have paid for it.
    But he had chosen to leave Arles and chase the stars in Laurent’s eyes and his hope for this last plan.

    If I don’t hold this kingdom together, Auguste caught himself thinking, egotistical for once, there will be no point to a crown, nor a head to hold it."
