Shai’s only possible ally is the emperor’s most loyal councillor, Gaotona, who struggles to understand her true talent. She is confined to a tiny, dirty chamber, guarded by a man who hates her, spied upon by politicians, and trapped behind a door sealed in her own blood. But her soul-Forgery is considered an abomination by her captors.

Shai is given an impossible task: to create-to Forge-a new soul for the emperor in fewer than one hundred days. If the emperor does not emerge after his hundred-day mourning period, the rule of the Heritage Faction will be forfeit and the empire will fall into chaos. An assassin has left the Emperor Ashravan comatose, a circumstance concealed only by the death of his wife. When Shai is caught replacing the Moon Scepter with her nearly flawless forgery, she must bargain for her life.
