    Summary

    After surviving both the Unification of Fódlan and subsequent Feasting War, Linhardt hoped for peace in the dawn of this new era. But there's none to be found for him as director of the Hevring Institute. Tasked with the study of Her Majesty's corrupted blood, which unites the Empire in its hunger for her, Linhardt's disgust wars with his cravings.

    He never thought he'd satisfy his desires with one of the Institute's clandestine patients, Metodey, a wanted criminal and diehard Imperial loyalist. When his own fasting drives Linhardt to seek a cure for the changes wrought by the Emperor's blood, his research threatens both loyalties and affections.

    The penalty for treason is death, but which will Linhardt betray—his country, or his conscience?
