Mace Ealdor is a revered member of the Order of the Silver Sword, mortals who possess the Spark of the Celestials. For centuries, the Swords have been the guardians of the empire of Danim, but when Mace embarks on a quest to right the wrongs of the monarchy amid a decades-long civil war, his noble ambitions soon threaten everything he seeks to protect. In this Shakespeare-inspired tale of betrayal and murder, friends become enemies, heroes become villains, and the only path to salvation rests in the will of the Stars themselves.
