Le Royaume de Dara est divisé en sept Etats, mais l'un d'entre eux, Xana, a pris l'ascendant sur les autres par la force et le jeu des alliances politiques. Son roi est devenu l'Empereur et a établi le règne du Céleste Diaphane. Tous désormais doivent chanter ses louanges et oeuvrer à sa gloire. Cependant, chez les nobles déchus comme chez le peuple corvéable à merci et écrasé d'impôts, la révolte gronde. Mais comment renverser cet empire dont les forces armées s'appuient sur une technologie élaborée ? C'est le défi que tenteront de relever Mata Zyndu, le dernier héritier de son clan, déchu pour avoir osé s'opposer à la Conquête, et Kuni Garu, un voyou charmeur et beau parleur qui s'apprête à embrasser une existence bien supérieure à ses ambitions les plus secrètes. Sauront-ils surmonter les défis qui les attendent pour accomplir leur destin sous la férule des dieux ?
