The Medistein house is on the verge of bankruptcy. Leo Medistein—a witty, womanizing, ambitious banker—struggles to maintain a monopolistic control of magic known as Essemancy. But when a disastrous betrayal happens with the Imperial crown and church, opposing values of power test the truth and love of familial bonds as each member decides what’s worth fighting for: their survival, their family, or an empire.
