After years spent in the saps under the defences of the apparently impregnable city of Ap' Escatoy, Bardas Loredan, sometime fencer-at-law and the betrayed defender of the famed Triple City, is suddenly a hero of the Empire. His reward is a boring administrative job in a backwater, watching armour being tested to destruction in the Proof House.But the fall of Ap' Escatoy has opened up unexpected possibilities for the expansion of the Empire into the land of the plainsmen, and Bardas is the one person their king fears the most. It seems that not even the Proof House can keep Bardas from the bloody arena of war, politics - and family.
