But His Act Sparks Violence In The Great City Of Peruma, With The Commune, An Anarchist Collective Of Workers, Revolting Against The Council, Which Has Ruled Peruma For Four Hundred Years. Drained By Endless Conflict, Council And Commune Negotiate A Hundred-Year Treaty That Is To Be Enforced By An Impartial Body: The Guardians Of The Confederation.
And Now, A Century Later, The Charter Is A Week Away From Lapsing. Tensions Run High In Peruma. As An Uncertain Future Looms, Nila, A Young Guardian, Is Approached By A Mysterious Woman Who Insists That Jagat’S Case Be Reopened Before It’S Too Late. Drawn By The Prospect Of Undoing A Possible Historical Injustice, Nila Agrees. But As She Begins To Unearth The Past, Forces, Known And Unknown, Thwart Her At Every Turn.
What Secrets Does The City Hold? Who Is Working In The Shadows Against Her—And Why? What Is The Price Of Resurrecting A Martyr? The Sentence Raises Questions About Justice, Rights And Ethics That Will Echo In Your Mind Long After You’Ve Turned The Last Page.
