The Tau and Queen Tsiora are in despair - they cannot delay the attack of the indigenous inhabitants of Xidda. They are forced to develop a very dangerous plan, the success of which will give the queen the time she needs to gather allies. But her main goal is a full-scale attack on the capital, where Tsiora’s sister rules as the “true” queen. If the city falls and Tsiora regains her throne and unites her people, only then will Omeha have a chance to survive the coming battles.
