The marriage plot
Brother Day decides it’s time to end the clone chain of succession by producing heirs in the more traditional sense, so he picks a bride: Queen Sareth (Ella-Rae Smith). She’s just endured a family tragedy she suspects Empire of plotting, and therefore isn’t sold on the arranged marriage—and she’s trying her best to be a schemer despite having big odds stacked against her. This plot line, which quickly comes to involve Brother Dawn (Cassian Bilton), brings some delicious courtly intrigue into the proceedings.
