    Chapter 1: Hadrian

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Devil's Rest

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    As he begins chronicling his own life, Hadrian Marlowe deliberates about where to begin. He tells of razed cities, Pale monsters, and a murdered sun. He tells also of an Empire, one that has its own version of events—a version which ends in Hadrian's execution. He goes on, writing of the many names he has been given, such as Hadrian Halfmortal, Al Neroblis, and Oimn Belu, and the many things he has been, such as soldier, scholar, and slave, during his life.


    Eventually, Hadrian writes of his childhood, being born to House Marlowe during a time of war with the Cielcin. He was largely brought up by his father's servants, during which time his family maintained their uranium-mining business. As he grew older, Hadrian got a brother, Crispin—four years younger than himself—and was taught in combat, language, religion, math, physics, and other fields by various teachers.

     

    As he waits for his lesson with Sir Felix Martyn to begin, Hadrian is pulled aside by Tor Gibson, who wishes to tell him something privately. Before they get a chance to converse, however, Sir Felix and Crispin arrive. Hadrian leaves Gibson with a promise that they'll speak afterward, and joins the others for the lesson in combat. Sir Felix has them practice dueling with each other, during which he criticizes Crispin's poor form and Hadrian's cautiousness. With both being protected by Royse shields, they duel each other, Crispin being more aggressive while Hadrian is more precise.

    Chapter 2: Like Distant Thunder

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Devil's Rest

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    After the lesson, Hadrian seeks out Gibson to inquire about what his teacher wishes to tell him. As he finds him, Gibson explains to Hadrian that the Wong-Hopper Consortium will visit them within the week, which Hadrian is surprised to have not learned. Next, Gibson informs him that the planet Cai Shen has been destroyed by the Cielcin. After the shock of revelation recedes slightly, Hadrian connects the Wong-Hopper Consortium's presence with his family's uranium mines. With Cai Shen destroyed, his own planet of Delos has become the largest licensed supplier of uranium in the sector. Though more concerning to Hadrian is that nobodyhe wasn't informed him of these events, especially since Gibson confirms that his brother Crispin was.

    Chapter 3: Consortium

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Devil's Rest

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    On the day of the Wong-Hopper Consortium's arrival on Delos, Hadrian has been sent away from the premises. He has been given the task of negotiating with Lena Balem, the Mining Guild representative. She brings up her concerns about the poor working conditions in the uranium mines, requesting better machines and protective gear. She tells of an accident, wherein she lost seventeen of her workers and an entire drill rig, and becomes increasingly bitter toward House Marlowe's inaction. Hadrian does not reprimand her insubordination—as his father might have—but offers to her no more than to take her concerns to his father.


    After he has left the meeting with the Mining Guild representative, Hadrian falls into conversation with his lieutenant, Kyra, as they fly toward Devil's Rest. They speak of their own interests and of their own families, with Kyra telling of her love of piloting ships, and Hadrian expressing his dislike of his father.


    As they arrive, Hadrian walks into the castle, searching for his father and the meeting with the Consortium. Eventually, he finds the room in which the meeting is already ongoing, but the room's guard, Sir Roban Milosh, refuses to let him in, stating that Hadrian's father prohibits anyone from entering. Nevertheless, Hadrian forces himself past Roban, and walks into the meeting, introducing himself to their guests. His father orders him to take a seat, though Crispin occupies the seat on which Hadrian usually sits. Instead, Hadrian picks up another chair and carries it two steps up the dais where his father sits.

    Chapter 4: The Devil and the Lady

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Devil's Rest

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    After the meeting, Hadrian is speaking with his mother, Liliana Kephalos-Marlowe, in his rooms. They speak of the reason that Aleister could have for excluding Hadrian from the meeting, and both agree that he intends for Crispin to take Hadrian’s place as heir to the throne. Though House Marlowe has traditionally always bestowed the throne to the eldest child, it is not a tradition that can’t be broken. Hadrian is ambivalent to this, not really wanting the role, but also not wanting Crispin to get it. They speculate further about Aleister’s plans, and Hadrian regrets the degree to which his parents are estranged.


    Soon thereafter, Hadrian and Liliana, together with Aleister, Crispin, and the Consortium dignitaries among others, dine together. Hadrian eats in silence, listening to the conversation until Junior Minister Xun Gong Sun brings up the Cielcin. Here, Crispin bluntly asks whether or not it is true that the Cielcin eat people. Though reprimanded by Liliana, Crispin persists until Hadrian and Tor Terence confirm his question. Hadrian then continues the conversation about the Cielcin, and the Consortium dignitaries are surprised about his knowledge. Director Feng suggests that Hadrian consider a career with the Chantry, to which Hadrian is quietly disappointed, wanting instead to become a scholiast. As the discussion goes on, Hadrian speaks of the difficulty of completely eradicating the Cielcin—seeing as they are not planetbound. Aleister interrupts him, finding his words borderline treasonous, and the conversation returns to business.

    Chapter 5: Tigers and Lambs

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Devil's Rest

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    Having been awoken late by a servant, Hadrian hurries through the keep to attend another meeting between House Marlowe and the Wong-Hopper Consortium. This time, the guards let him through, though Crispin has again taken the seat closest to Aleister. At the time of Hadrian’s entry, the meeting is revolving around the issue of the uranium miners' discontent. Eusebia, the Chantry prior in Meidua, soon changes the topic of the conversation to the Cielcin. The Chantry representatives present argue for greater expenditure on planetary defence, in case of a Cielcin attack, though Aleister thinks this unnecessary. He brings the conversation back to local affairs, and Director Feng makes vaguely threatening remarks to Aleister about the uranium quotas he has pledged. Aleister dismisses the threats, and Hadrian is reminded of the time his father destroyed Lord Orin’s rebellion on Linon.


    The meeting breaks up, with the Consortium representatives leaving to meet with the Mining Guild factionarius, though Aleister orders Hadrian to stay. As they are given privacy, Aleister confronts Hadrian with what he promised Lena Balem during their previous negotiation. Here, their opinions contrast, with Hadrian believing they should upgrade their faulty equipment to parity, and Aleister disagreeing. They argue back and forth, during which Aleister considers sending Tor Gibson away to a cloister—to Hadrian’s dismay, until they eventually come upon the matter of inheritance. Aleister assures Hadrian that if he keeps acting the way he has, he will not be heir to the throne.

    Chapter 6: Truth without Beauty

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Colosso

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    Hadrian and Crispin are at the coliseum, watching a group of douleters detaining an azhdarch and cleaning away the remains of the slaves who had fought it. While Hadrian hates the arena for its disregard for human life, Crispin is excited by it, having obtained permission from their father to fight on this day. While Crispin speaks enthusiastically with Sir Roban Milosh, Hadrian is absently drawing a portrait of Kyra in a book of his. As the Meidua Devils enter into the arena, the announcer tells a story of the 617th Centaurine Legion repelling a Cielcin horde that had ravaged the Bellos colony. The Meidua Devils are meant to reenact this battle, killing slaves that represent the Cielcin. Hadrian is disgusted by the scene, while Crispin eagerly cheers with the crowd. Eventually, Crispin is informed that it is his turn to fight, and he makes his way down to the arena floor along with Sir Roban. Hadrian leaves the coliseum as the crowd cheers for Crispin.

    Chapter 7: Meidua

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Lowtown

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    As Hadrian leaves the Colosso, he questions whether his father might not be right about his inability to rule, doubting that he has the cruelty to rule like his Aleister. He determines to walk the short way back home by himself, moving parallel to the Redtine. Consumed by his own thoughts as he is, Hadrian does not notice the thieves before they assault him. Hadrian attempts to yield, but, realizing the thieves don't care, activates his Royse field, taps his panic button to alert Sir Roban and Kyra, and tries to fight back. Though he loses his knife and has his wrist shattered, he manages to hold off the thieves for a time. Eventually, however, he is knocked down, and the thieves reach to steal his rings. Here, they panic as they realize that Hadrian is of House Marlowe, and Hadrian loses consciousness.

    Chapter 8: Gibson

    Locations

    • Spur of Orion > Delos > Meidua Prefecture > Meidua > Devil's Rest

    Characters

    Plot Summary

    As he writes of his mugging in the alley, Hadrian imagines how different the world would be if he had died on that day. The planet Gododdin would still exist and still have a sun, and the Cielcin would not live as thralls to humanity.


    He wakes five days later in his rooms, lying in his bed with Gibson sitting beside it. Having almost died, Hadrian was cared for by Tor Alma after being found by Sir Roban and Kyra. As he becomes more conscious, Gibson tells him that the thieves that assaulted him have been killed, and that his signet ring has been returned to him. Feeling both numb and lightheaded, Hadrian is hurt by the absence of his parents and brother, especially since his father’s only comment was a request that Hadrian consider how the attack might reflect on the dignity of their house. As Gibson leaves to go to sleep, Hadrian tells him of his fears that Aleister will announce Crispin as his heir, though Gibson informs him that his father has made no such announcement during his unconsciousness. He tells Hadrian that his way of leading is vastly different from his father’s, who forces obedience through fear of pain.


    Dreaming, Hadrian walks the mausoleum, reliving his grandmother Fuchsia’s funeral. In the dream, as he walks behind the Chantry prior, a statue of his father comes alive and seizes him. Gripped by terror, he imagines himself waking, though he is still dreaming, and finds Gibson, marked as a criminal. As he writes of this dream, Hadrian believes he saw Gibson’s injury before it was inflicted upon him.

    Yet if I were again threatened with beheading, still I think I would swear that it was so: that I saw Gibson's injury before it was inflicted upon him.

    I was old and young again before I understood.

    — Hadrian Marlowe
