The Rising Storm

The Rising Storm

The wind howled through the narrow mountain pass as dark clouds gathered on the horizon, casting an ominous shadow over Veridonia. It was the beginning of a storm, one that had been brewing for years beneath the surface, unnoticed until it was too late. And now, as the kingdom prepared for a war it had long feared, another enemy emerged from the shadows Duke Roderick. His name had once been whispered in fear and disdain, a traitor to the crown who had been thought defeated and exiled. But like all storms, Roderick had been gathering strength, waiting for the right moment to strike.
