The Empress of the Eight Worlds has been assassinated. Prince Harivarman, exiled on the Templar Radiant, suspects that he will be the next victim. Help is scarce: Anne Blenheim, the fortress' clear-eyed, fair Commander, is favorably disposed toward the Prince, but her first responsibility is to the Templar High Command. And Chen Shizuoka, a Templar recruit sympathetic to Harivarman's cause, is being stalked by planetary security forces. When Prince Harivarman discovers an operable Berserkerâ€“one of the asteroid-sized, spacefaring war machines that once destroyed their makers and all other life in their pathâ€“his first instinct is to turn it in. But then he finds an ancient code that will either allow him to control the dreaded machine or lead himâ€“and everyone else on the Templar Radiantâ€“to certain death.
