Archonia, built on magic and the ruins of a fallen empire, teeters on the brink of chaos. A tyrant’s grip tightens, war looms, and whispers of rebellion echo across the land.
Vander Winterborn has spent years hiding in obscurity, haunted by the memory of his family slaughtered during Archon Olarin’s violent rise to power. Content to live in the shadows, Vander resists the destiny tied to his bloodline: he is the rightful heir to the throne.
But when an ally from his past warns of an impending collapse, Vander faces an impossible choice: stay hidden or wield the power he swore to forsake.
With a kingdom’s fate and a dangerous secret in his hands, Vander must decide—save Archonia or watch it burn.
