Aeverfall

The Karras Empire didn't need an army to conquer the Segan Empire. They only needed a pen. ​Under the guise of a "fair trade" agreement, the corrupt Emperor Segan has bartered away his nation's most fertile agricultural lands. In return, Karras has flooded the streets with high-grade steel weapons. It is a masterpiece of deception: a starving populace, handed swords they cannot eat, while a political thunderstorm brews over the region of Aever. ​When a letter sealed in dark crimson wax arrives at the Ashkar household, sixteen-year-old Callan is severed from his family and thrust into the Knight House Academy. Out of the entire empire, only fifty are chosen each year. But Callan is no noble prodigy, and the Academy is no mere training ground—it is the brutal, unforgiving crucible where the empire breeds its finest chess pieces. ​As the Civil Treaty fractures and the Stewarts wage a desperate legal war against a mad crown, Callan must navigate an intricate web of ruthless noble politics and deep-seated imperial corruption. Because in the game Karras is playing, a knight's blade is useless unless guided by a lethal mind. ​Step into a world of cold strategies, cutthroat diplomacy, and devastating twists where every allegiance is a trap, and no one is safe from the fallout. ​This is the anatomy of a collapse. Welcome to The Great War of Aever.
