Although surgeons were able to do a Flesh Forgery or reseal the wound, there was significant brain damage. When she is brought to face her crimes and possible death as punishment, the five arbiters who make up the Rose Empire’s governing council need her unique skills.Įmperor Ashravan received a head injury from assassins from a rival faction, who also killed his wife. She’s been arrested for trying to steal the Moon Scepter, which belongs to the emperor, and forging a copy of a valuable painting and stealing the original among other things.
