I, Jatok

Ambassador Tesek Nyme has brokered an armistice between the Empire and the Free Sectors for nearly two years, but Tavqa Anokt does not intend to leave the Empire standing. Zymar must face the reality that he may not be able to hold the Free Sectors together and protect the heir of Zabteq as he is dragged into Tavqa's laboratory and her new schemes. Phanatiera awaits with faith the arrival of Agash. But Osrua struggles with doubt and with guilt. Will he be able to unravel the mysteries of Iara and will Agash come in time? As Tesek's nightmares return, both he and Thaurid grapple with the trauma of war and torture. More violence lurks on the horizon and threats bubble up from within the Empire—and from Tesek's own past.

The shadows of dead gods are everywhere. Nothing Jatok touches can ever be truly whole again.
