They have a beautiful new baby son named Julián, and their close friend Fermín Romero de Torres is about to be wed.

    His appearance plunges Fermín and Daniel into a dangerous adventure that will take them back to the 1940s and the early days of Franco's dictatorship. The terrifying events of that time launch them on a search for the truth that will put into peril everything they love, and will ultimately transform their lives.

    What dreams may come ... 
    On the idyllic Swedish island of Gotland, another teenager is found dead. This makes 22 suicides in 17 months. Some knew each other, others didn't. There are no notes. No explanations. No reasons. Each new death rocks the island to its core, and everyone holds their breath for the next to be found ... 
     
    With the media ordered not to report on it, the police baffled, and the islanders looking desperately for someone, or something, to blame ... chaos is imminent. 
     
    Among the horror, a father whose daughter is missing searches frantically for answers. A journalism student chases the truth at all costs as fear and persecution grip her university. And a notorious detective is dragged out of exile to ask questions the police can't. Or won't ... 
     
    As terror takes root in every home and mind, and the death toll continues to rise, only one thing links the victims: a black heart, etched into their skin. What does it mean? And will it be enough to save the island before it tears itself apart?

    Imperium, one of the most powerful societies in the universe, is on the brink of a generation-defining electoral cycle. Will Imperials continue to support the Expansionist Party, which favors annihilating their chief rival, the Core, through military measures, or will Imperials vote for the Affiliate Party, which favors weakening the Core through political pressure? 
    There are seven Lord Regents, each of whom oversees a particular sphere of influence. Moreover, each Lord Regent has their own Prophate, who acts as their religious adviser. Notably, some Prophates are content with their place in Imperial society, while others have ambitions that perhaps exceed their office . . . 
    Through strange circumstances, Raelynn Mabry, a recent graduate of the Keeper system, begins working for Levin Liston, the Lord Regent of Diplomacy and the leader of the Affiliate Party. Raelynn becomes embroiled in the political rivalry between Liston and Cyno Banner, the Lord Regent of War and Defense, the leader of the Expansionist Party, and the current Head of the Assembly. Liston is trying to negotiate an alliance with the Civitan, a power that has recently seceded from the Core, but this alliance is not exactly popular. Indeed, most Expansionists oppose it, as they question whether the Civitan, which had fought against Imperium during the decades-long Glass War, can be trusted. 
    The Expansionist Party and the Affiliate Party have disparate views of what kind of power Imperium should be in the universe. If the Expansionists win, then the status quo remains intact, but if the Affiliates win, then this signals a seismic shift in Imperial politics. As Imperium nears Election Day, choices are made, and alliances are drawn—or destroyed. The future of Imperium hangs in the balance, and the stakes have never been higher.
