Présentation de l'éditeur :
The long antennae—five feet long? six? And covered with what looked like very short fur—swept forward, quivering in the air over Ahvren’s head. It took all his self-control to keep from stepping back. Then the antennae lifted away, without touching him, much to his relief. They remained cocked forward, but relaxed, oscillating slowly. Ahvren welcomes the peace but he doesn’t fully trust it, and his mistrust is not unwarranted: Rumors abound of a plot to assassinate the Vivitare emperor. The last thing Ahvren wants is to rejoin the emperor’s fleet and conquer the next planet, so he strikes a bargain with his father. If he can uncover the plot to assassinate the emperor, Ahvren can choose his own path. It’s a challenge that will take more wits than strength, and Ahvren’s not sure he’s up for it. But it’s also the most important test he’s ever faced and his success is vital. For not only does the emperor’s life depend on it, so does Ahvren’s.
