A standalone novel in the Imperium Cicernus Universe
Inspector Paul Grimm's oldest friend has just been framed for a murder that, technically, he did commit.
There's no denying the evidence but nothing in the empire is ever simple. Paul must find a way to help a friend who raised him from the gutters of Imperial society. He follows a trail of corruption, intrigue and corpses that takes him out to the Rim Territories where Humanity rubs shoulders with a powerful alien enemy.
On the Rim, he joins forces with Julia Urbica, a Marine officer posted to the obscurity of frontier duty. Julia's career-killing assignment may be the Empire's last hope. She's been whipping the local defense-volunteers into shape and they'll be sorely needed in the fight to come.
Together, they uncover far more than the usual corruption. Treason on a breathtaking scale has put our Galactic Empire on the knife's edge. Shocking weaknesses are revealed and it may be too late to turn the tide. The Grays are already pouring across the border. Paul and Julia must turn a blind eye to orders and risk all for Humanity.
For, in the end, the Empire's fate depends on a small band of rebels and patriots...
