Humanity has existed in peace for over two millennia under the rule of Emperor Ovlour—until now. Wars have been erupting across the galactic colonies and the Imperial Forces have been called upon to obliterate the aggressors.

After his hometown is destroyed, Kass discovers the emperor himself is responsible for covertly inciting the wars. With the help of his new mentor, he vows vengeance against the man who destroyed everything he cared about. Little does he know of the ancient traditions in which he is taking part. In his quest for revenge, will he end up saving the Empire, or destroying it?
