Zachary fails his heavenly tribulation and wakes up in the body of a dethroned emperor, in a palace where every servant is deciding which side to betray him to. The court poisons, the dowager Liliana schemes, and his own brother Zion commands a modern army against the throne.

Each display of power forces the court to choose between calling him a fraud and kneeling. The question is how long divine proof can hold a country together before the people who fear him find a way to strike back.
