A kingdom poised for glory. A father broken by loss. A vengeance that will burn empires.

In the mighty realm of Thalassor, power is balanced on a blade's edge. Political alliances are crumbling, spies walk the palace halls, and whispers of war echo across the six kingdoms. But in the heart of it all stands Master Harold-an aging librarian whose quiet presence hides a storm.

Years ago, Harold made a promise to his dying wife: to raise their son Flint far from the blood-soaked path of the sword. But fate had other plans. When Flint, a gifted warrior, is murdered in cold blood after defeating a prince in combat, Harold's grief turns into fury.

What begins as a father's sorrow becomes a masterfully orchestrated crusade of revenge.

Infiltrating the palace under the guise of humility, Harold uncovers secrets, poisons trust and manipulates kingdoms into collapse. With the help of his old mercenary friend turned enemy, he frames Thalassor for crimes it did not commit. When the peacekeeper-the last hope of diplomacy-arrives, Harold ensures his death will ignite war that cannot be undone.

As alliances shatter and royal blood stains the throne, Harold's quiet vendetta becomes the cataclysm that topples a kingdom.
