For generations the Torqye Pashalu and the Balt-Rhein Empire have stood in stern opposition to each other. Then one night, when an Imperial minister is found assassinated, the two nations are plunged into a potentially explosive situation! As the generals of Torqye’s council cry for war, Mahmut comes to discover the devious truth behind the assassination! Thus the young pasha’s battle for his country, peace and trust in his fellow man begins!
Thanks to Mahmut, Torqye's main force has avoided a confrontation with the southern Imperial army. The Rhein region is in the hands of Zaganos, and as Torqye gains the advantage, his hands are already on the throat of Balt-Rhein! But a generals' conference portends serious changes for Mahmud's life -- and soon he realizes this isn't a war against the Empire, but a struggle for the future of his own homeland!
