The greatest duel of the age. Two Chosen. One Victor. The day of the Duellum Dominantium Approaches. As Chosen Sadira and Chosen Silvius choose their teams and prepare for the ultimate battle, intrigues abound. Meanwhile a small band of heretics, survivors of the fall of The Dark Heart, seeks to escape the Domains of the Chosen, a former Centurion is accused of a heinous crime, and a mission of peace travels to a distant border of The Empire. The fates of all of these will collide when the great duel is consummated on the fighting grounds on a day that none will forget.
