Captain Tamas is an
ambitious young officer in the Adran army. As a commoner, he is one of
very few without noble blood to hold a rank. When he challenges the son
of a duke over an insult, the subsequent duel lands him in hot water
with the nobility and the royal cabal of Privileged sorcerers. Tamas is
soon drawn into a conflict that goes to the very highest office in the
land, and his only ally is the most unlikely of people; a young
noblewoman named Erika, who needs Tamas to teach her how to wield her
powers as a powder mage.
Occurs about 35 years before the events in Promise of Blood.
