Full Description
In a world where crowns are forged in blood and loyalty is a fragile blade, a young prince must choose between duty and survival.
Prince Leto Blackwater has known nothing but privilege, indulging in every whim with reckless abandon, while chafing under the weight of a future meant for another. He rebels against the chains of expectation, stirring unrest in the court and earning the wrath of his father, the King.
But when a savage act of revenge tears through the heart of his family, Leto is cast from the only world he has ever known. Hunted by those who had once sworn fealty, haunted by guilt and loss, he must navigate the ashes of a fractured kingdom.
Alliances crumble and betrayals cut deep as the fires of an ancient blood feud sweep across the realm. With his family's fate hanging by a thread, Leto confronts the man he was to become - the leader he never intended to be.
Book One of an epic medieval fantasy series exploring legacy, loyalty, and the brutal cost of power.
