Elle s'appelle Mara. Elle devait rentrer au couvent pour le reste de sa vie, mais le destin en a décidé autrement. La mort de son père et de son frère la propulse du jour au lendemain dame du clan Acoma. À dix-sept ans à peine, elle se retrouve à la tête de l'une des familles les plus prestigieuses qui soient. La lutte pour la survie commence... Car dans l'empire, les nobles s'affrontent pour le pouvoir au sein du terrible jeu du Conseil. Intrigues, complots, alliances : tous les coups sont permis tant que les traditions sont respectées.

Mara des Acoma, souveraine de sa maison, s'est imposée comme une force à part entière au sein des clans et comme une joueuse adroite au jeu du Conseil. À présent, dame Mara doit mener la bataille sur deux fronts : le foyer d'intrigues et de trahisons de la cour des Tsurani, et son propre cœur, qui brûle d'affection pour un esclave barbare venu du monde ennemi. Kevin l'initie aux plaisirs de l'amour, mais la pousse également à remettre en question ses principes de vie...

Dame Mara des Acoma, pair de l'empire, se sent enfin en sécurité, hors d'atteinte de ses ennemis pour la première fois de sa vie. Elle a tort. Une nouvelle tentative d'assassinat la frappe plus cruellement que jamais. Embrasée par le désir de vengeance, Mara repart en guerre. Car elle en est sûre : Jiro des Anasati, son vieux rival, est derrière ce crime. Mais ses plans sont perturbés par l'Assemblée des magiciens qui, comme Mara commence à le comprendre, est le véritable pouvoir de l'empire.
