Redemptor
Tarisai ora siede sul trono dell¿impero arit e, per la prima volta nella storia, si trova a dover coniugare il potere del Raggio con il ruolo del Redentore. Come da tradizione, l¿imperatrice deve formare un concilio di undici persone legate a lei dal Raggio, ma non è facile trovare consiglieri fidati quando ogni giorno porta con sé una nuova minaccia. Inoltre il tempo stringe, perché soltanto quando la sua posizione sarà più salda Tarisai potrà prepararsi a discendere nel mondo degli Inferi e fermare una volta per tutte i terribili sacrifici richiesti dagli abiku. Determinata a portare a termine la sua missione, in un regno sempre più instabile, Tarisai si sente sola: i fratelli e le sorelle di concilio sono distanti, gli spiriti dei Redentori sacrificati in passato la tormentano chiedendo vendetta per i crimini commessi dall¿impero, aumentano gli attentati alla sua vita e un attivista che si fa chiamare ¿il Coccodrillö sobilla le classi sociali più basse. La giovane imperatrice è sottoposta a una pressione insopportabile e non sa più di chi fidarsi. Quale strada prenderà? Dovrà morire perché venga fatta giustizia? Ma, soprattutto, avrà qualcuno a cui chiedere aiuto nel momento del più estremo bisogno?
