Power often forces those who are entrusted with it to commit unworthy deeds. Power changes a person or compels them to reveal their true face. In an empire where power is fought over by the clergy and the magi, a childless ruler dies, and his widow somehow disappears in a strange way. This triggers a mass of intrigues around possible claimants to the throne. Lord Demos, tasked with finding the missing wife of the late emperor, and Duke Gregor Voldkhard, who enters the struggle for the throne for love, get drawn into a dangerous game where they are only pieces on a chessboard.

In the second book, the fight for the throne continues. Each of the heroes is trying with all their might to survive and is ready for a temporary alliance with anyone. But trusting too quickly, it’s easy to be deceived—and the price for gullibility may be death. The details of the story are in the audiobook.
