{{quote|''[[Exarch]] [[Damien Redburn]] has called for the election of his replacement.

''Paladins [[Heather GioAvanti]] and [[Jonah Levin]] are both conducting investigations into suspicious activities swirling around the edges of this high-level gathering. The leads they follow repeatedly intersect, and it becomes clear that more than one group intends to disrupt the election of the exarch. Through political influence, assassination, or rebellion, each of these cabals ultimately seeks to place its own man or woman on the exarch's seat—and whoever controls the exarch controls The Republic.''
