The Lightship H.M.S. Impulse is gone, sacrificed in a battle against First Empire ships.

But there is no time to grieve or even regroup as Peter is trust into a new crisis, a potential civil war on the Union world of Carinthia. Caught between his rank in the navy and his status as a royal heir, Peter is put on trial for the loss of Impulse, used as a political pawn as Carinthia stands on the brink of a devastating conflict.
