Wardance tells of the trials and tribulations of an extended family as ‎they face the Collegium's bloody-minded determination to ‎reconstruct what was lost when the Imperium blundered into a one-‎sided war with the Norgathi, an ancient alien race occupying star ‎systems closer to the galactic core. Attempting to rebuild the ‎Imperium, the Collegium's bureaucratic order ran into fierce ‎resistance from the Akkadians. Fighting back, the Akkadian's set in ‎motion contingency plans, migration beyond the edge of known ‎space, intending to build a new home for the Zanarri family. What ‎they found was a new world, a place of safety, new allies.‎
