   Summary

   Around Navarre, whispers of a looming uprising in the Provence of Tyrrendor have spread and tensions run high. Brennan Sorrengail is amongst those unsure what to think about the news discussed in Battle Brief. Should he blindly trust the words of his commanding officers? Or should he listen to the confusing words of his father?

   And what about the man he spends almost every night with? Dare he risk the efficiency of the quadrant by falling in love? That doesn't matter, he has fallen anyway.

   Follow Brennan and Naolin as they struggle to navigate the Rider's Quadrant and accidentally fall in love amid the lead-up to a Civil War.
