the Emperor has been assassinated. The Lord Marshall Bhagavan is desperately attempting to keep the Greater Noble Houses from tearing apart the Imperium as they battle for the vacant throne. The Church of the Blessed Prophets, trying to regain their ascendency over humanity and the Imperium, are attempting to also seize the vacant throne. Non-human species who have suffered under the yoke of the Imperium see their chance to break free. Enter into this world Ailanthus and Tethys, friends all their lives and it has been that friendship that has helped them survive the twenty years imprisonment in the infamous penal colony of K'ar Krack'a. Now that their one chance to escape has come, they question the coming together of coincidental events and struggle to make sense out of a world that seems to be falling apart around them. Thus begins book one of the Dark Pilgrim series, an epic tale of brutality and faith, greed and compassion, and love and sacrifice.
