As the empire of Rolmia plunges into civil war following the death of the emperor ,  his three ambitious sons  vie for the throne. In the midst of this turmoil, Alpheo finds the chance to break his chain and escape, leading his companions into the ashes of war, trying to thrive in it,  selling their swords to the highest bidder  .

But beyond the borders of Rolmia, hungry eyes watch  as the empire's grip loosens. The Sultanate of Azania, ever the opportunist, sees a chance to expand its domain and influence , while to the south, neighboring principalities breathe a sigh of relief as the once-dominant giant stumbles and falters.

In the sea, the confederation of the Free Isle finds their chance to restore their old maritime power , denied to them by an empire that is now crumbling beneath  itself , lacking the strenght to stop them.

<p>True, he was seventeen—a man by the count of his years—but not by his deeds. He had yet to spill an enemy's blood, to carve his place among those who had earned the right to stand tall. Until he did, he was little more than a child in the eyes of the tribe. Without a kill to his name, he had no voice in council, no claim to spoils taken in raids. He was neither boy nor warrior—just another herdsman, another shadow on the fringes of their world.</p>
