Summary
France. October, 1792. The mortals have abolished their monarchy and arrested their king. But the situation among the fledgling Republic's mages is very, very different.
Mirk remains at the head of the d'Avignons, but its present fortunes are just as low as when he took up his grandfather's staff a century ago. With the mortals in chaos, the magical nobility of France has tightened its grasp on power rather than fleeing. But many mages -- those with the least to lose -- are calling for the opening of the guilds. Which leaves Mirk with a decision to make: either help his fellow nobles, or entrust his family's fate to those who stand against them.
Genesis has no doubts. Assisting the low-born French mages is a prime opportunity for the K'maneda to return to its revolutionary roots. Committing the Seventh Infantry to the revolution could lead the K'maneda in the direction the division's fighters have been struggling toward for a century. Or it could spell disaster, if the revolution fails.
Their responsibilities and beliefs could put them on opposite sides of the fight. Can their devotion to each other help them find a way to bring their causes together? Or will their duty split them apart?
