Publisher's Synopsis
Nothing is what it seemsAfter receiving an invitation from the reclusive country of Natan to meet the new Emperor, King Tyrone entrusts Nigel, Mirit and Lord Allard as royal envoys. Matters become complicated when a defiant twelve-year-old Titus is discovered to have stowed away, to the great anger of his father Tyrone. Met by Admiral Kentashi for final escort to Natan, the group makes a hasty decision to conceal certain identities in hopes of avoiding insult and trouble. But what waits in Natan, plunges them into a mystery surrounding the unnatural events after their arrival and the triggering of a civil war. It becomes a life and death struggle to escape Natan, for nothing is what it seems.
