About
Fifty years after the establishment of the Imperium—and 450 years before the events of Isolate—Dominic Mikail Ysella, grandson of the last king of Aloor and the third son of his line, must support himself with little land to his name. He becomes a “legalist” and is elected to the Imperial Council, quietly working as an “isolate”—someone unreadable by government telepaths. Amid a time of a crumbling imperial line, he must build a coalition within the Council and draft a new constitution to save the Imperium from itself. In doing so he uncovers corruption, graft, and dangers that could see him tried for treason—because even a specialist in water rights can get himself killed in the wrong system
