The City's Secrets

As Brannon's nineteenth birthday approaches, the priests in charge of the old religion are more determined than ever to force him to accept his mantle as Emperor. With Tallis' assistance, Brannon researches his history and learns more about the machinations of the men who would put him on the throne. Then one of the few people who could reveal the truth to him is murdered, and everyone in the sacred city is a suspect... including Brannon himself.
