Imperial Traitor

When Emperor Surabar is assassinated, Shalidar makes plans to put Lord Tremarle on the throne. Other lords have designs on the Mantle, however, and in the absence of clear authority the city descends into anarchy. Femke and Reynik go into hiding with the Emperor designate, Lord Kempten. But for Kempten to assume the throne, he must first remove the threat posed by the Guild of Assassins. The power of the Guild resides in the bonding stone - a stone which is kept in the heavily-guarded Guild headquarters, deep beneath the Imperial Palace. Femke still has allies, but she must find a way to get them into the Guild headquarters before it's too late.
