Synopsis

One year after the Great Sack, Protector General Ril Cowel took what remained of the fleet of Camrus and set out after the empire responsible for hammering his home into oblivion, the Empire of B’Nan. Cowel chased the mythic emperor for fifteen years. At last, fate seemed to hand him his chance, and in a swift strike Cowel damaged the imperial fleet and killed B’Nan. The terror now over, he intended to dismantle the empire, to take it apart so that it could no longer destroy worlds like his own. But the more Ril Cowel tries, the harder it seems to be rid of the vast machinery B’Nan had constructed over a thousand years or more. For the emperor was reputed to have lived the entire time his empire grew. Cowel never gave credence to such stories...until he becomes emperor himself.
