Great War III is over, and Austria and her allies stand victorious before the Russo-Serbian coalition. Yet the war was won with a bloody cost, and vultures circle above, ready to feed off the carrion left in its wake. The AI claiming to be Celestia hangs over the Federation like the Sword of Damocles, and for Dörgésarny Gábor, her rising influence means isolation from his brother, Mihály.

Set in the same universe as In the Hollow Lotos Land and based off the same collaborative project, but not the same universe as The Diary of Valentin Sokolov.
