How far must loyalty go? To Maxillio Luminor Martel, life seemed perfectly flawless. He has earned a position as a Petroknight, one of the emperor's elite guards. It is a position millions have pursued, yet few ever achieved, and it comes with the strongest vow of loyalty to the emperor that anyone could give. That changes when the emperor sent him on a mission to suppress a rebellion. What started as an ordinary mission would come to test the very vow he had given. The choices he makes will send shockwaves throughout his nation and change the lives of millions forever.
