In a fractured, war-torn realm of dark fantasy—where the Kingdom of Frankia devours itself and its ancient rival across the channel circles like a patient predator—intrigue is as deadly as any blade. Steam and steel rise alongside sorcery, great machines forged by noble hands to fuel wealth, warfare, and control. Magic belongs to bloodlines alone: fire and ice wielded as birthright, while the Church stretches far beyond its sacred purpose, twisting faith into a tool of dominion. Into this world of shadowed courts, hidden plots, and grinding industry, two young nobles are cast from the illusion of safety into a web of secrets that binds kings, clergy, and conspirators alike. As war spreads and truths begin to unravel, one question lingers in the dark: can a man defy his nature—and the fate imposed upon him—or will he become the very weapon this broken world was built to wield?
