My arrival in the capital saw me accused of murdering the little Prince, and being taken into custody. Now I'm facing life in exile on Freedom Island--a prison island, where the most horrible criminals in the entire Empire end up: from Faceters and Black-Bookmen to murderers and rapists. An island from which, according to rumor, only three people have ever managed to escape. I didn't kill the little Prince. But there's no way I'm going to avoid exile. The only option remaining to me now? Survive at any cost, and search for a way to escape.
