The Hero of Legend (Realmsic Conquest) [Completed]

Six days ago, Maebus was a low-ranking councilman in the Realm, the world's only magical kingdom. Today he's king, and the crown is already trying to kill him. He took the throne because no one else would. It cost him almost immediately. Warlord Damian has spent years turning the Realm's own people against their rulers, promising safety from magic and wealth beyond imagination to all who follow him. His Legion crushes Maebus without breaking stride. Exiled in his own kingdom, Maebus has one hope left: the prophesied Hero of Legend, said to be the Realm's only salvation. But the deeper he searches, the more he realizes Damian was never the real threat. The Realm has hidden a secret for two thousand years, and if it surfaces, no hero will be enough to stop it.
