The Realms Humani are a federation of city-states ruled by independent royal families and governed by Great Houses. The Houses Mercenary regulate warfare and armed conflict; the Houses Mercantile regulate commerce and economic conflict; the Houses Assassin regulate murder and illicit conflict. Beyond the dominion of the Great Houses, magickai pursue their own ends by weaving the strands of reality into powerful spells while priests strive to shape society in accordance with the tenets of the Gods of Elem.

When the Sathiian priest Welbley Blaythe requests an alliance with the master of one of Dûhr’s Great Houses Assassin, unexpected forces conspire to unleash astonishing revelations and unexpected betrayals. All because of a flower.
