Each confession extracted corrodes another piece of who he was. Wolfgang, stationed on the Western Front, falls for a French resistance fighter. When she's murdered by on the order of an SS officer, he allows his men to commit an atrocity in revenge—learning that righteous rage and monstrous action wear the same face. Changning builds a new life in Hansa, but her relationship with Kylian brands her a traitor. Chinese nationalist assassins hunt her while Hanseatic society treats her as a curiosity at best, a threat at worst. When Wolfgang's unsanctioned revenge sabotages Kylian's crucial intelligence operation, the two collide in a reckoning that forces them to confront the people they've become and the prices they've paid.

Wolfgang returns home, his idealism tempered into the shrewd, resilient leadership his Duchy will need in a fractured world. And Changning, though exiled, has forged a new identity and a powerful voice, ready to help shape the future from the ashes of the old.
