On the night of the Great Fire of London, a young boy named Edmund loses his family and witnesses a “giant arsonist” amid the flames. Fourteen years later, now grown into an honest merchant, he comes face to face once more with the very same man—this time hailed as a “hero” who protects the city. As Edmund pursues the truth, he uncovers the dark underbelly of a powerful fire insurance guild that controls the city, along with a conspiracy that entangles even his own adoptive father. What burns brighter—hatred, or justice? Branded a fugitive, he is forced to leave London and is cast away across the seas. Awaiting him there is the Ottoman Empire, where trade and intrigue collide, and the storm of the Age of Discovery threatens to swallow the world. Will the boy whom the flames once took rise from the ashes as a “new king”? Defying fate, his journey becomes a legend etched into the shadows of history—his great voyage begins now.
