The Struggle of the Shadow Heirs for the Throne

In a land divided between eternal darkness and fleeting light, four heirs are born into the Shadow Side every generation. Only one may claim the throne. Emilia is the weakest among them. Scorned by the elders. Compared to the legendary queens who came before her. Every scar she earns, every battle she loses, every whisper calling her unworthy — they all echo the same question: What makes a ruler? Sent on a suicide mission to prove her worth, Emilia must travel into enemy territory with nothing but her two knights and her own stubborn refusal to break. The Light Side is watching. The other heirs are waiting for her to fall. And the throne? The throne waits in the dark. Four hands reach for it. Only one will hold it.
