It would be logical for the culture of a distant planet unconnected to Humans to be...well...alien. A different social and family structure, different legal system, different religion. But maybe some things aren’t that alien: war, politics...murder. A natural disaster like an earthquake would seem to be perfect cover for murder. But the murder is discovered, with the prime suspect a member of a family allied to Emperor Benamea Haneem. Lord Edo Ishda, brother to the Emperor, must discover the truth and see justice done in a situation where every solution threatens to be political dynamite for the Emperor.

Even after he remembers who he is and accepts that he’s a ghost, Cole has no idea why he's become a ghost. He senses there's more to it than his murder. Worse, he has no idea how to be a ghost.

He learns to his horror that his body has not been found and the circumstances of his disappearance make it appear he betrayed his marriage and killed his lover. He struggles with learning to communicate, proving the truth about his death so he can clear his and the woman's names, and preventing another possible murder.
