Legacy of Blackwood – Synopsis

Decades after Chris Blackwood reshaped the world, his empire stands unrivaled, with its influence stretching across nations. The Blackwood Union rules with absolute authority, dictating the course of history itself. But as the throne transitions to a new ruler, the balance of power shifts, and old alliances are tested.

Ethan Carter, the trusted right hand of Chris, has been named the new Supreme Ruler. With his appointment comes the weight of expectation, the burden of maintaining an empire built on dominance, and the whispers of betrayal lurking in the shadows.

Classic Blackwood and Christiana Blackwood—each with their own vision for the future—must decide where their loyalties lie. Skylar Blackwood, ever watchful, remains a force to be reckoned with, her ambitions far from fulfilled.

But as external threats rise and internal conflicts brew, the question remains: Will the Legacy of Blackwood thrive under new leadership, or will it collapse under the weight of its own power?

A tale of loyalty, ambition, and the price of absolute rule—Legacy of Blackwood begins.

Legacy of Blackwood

The grand halls of the Blackwood Palace were silent, but Skylar's steps carried unwavering determination. She pushed open the heavy double doors to the Imperial Chamber, where Ethan Blackwood stood, his gaze fixed on the city below.

Ethan didn't turn. His hands remained clasped behind his back, his posture rigid. "Define 'too far,' Skylar." His voice was smooth, measured.

Skylar stepped forward. "The oppression. The executions. The absolute power you wield without question." Her voice was sharp. "This is not the Blackwood way."

Finally, Ethan turned, his expression unreadable. "And what is the Blackwood way, Skylar? Peace? Negotiation?" A smirk touched his lips. "That world was weak. It fell under its own weight. I rebuilt it—stronger, unchallenged."

Skylar's jaw clenched. "At what cost? You rule with an iron grip. The people fear you. Even Christiana questions your judgment."

Ethan's eyes darkened. "She should know her place."

Skylar's heart pounded. She had known Ethan Carter before he became Ethan Blackwood—before the crown, before the absolute rule. This was not the same man.

"And Chris?" she pressed. "He watches everything, yet he remains silent. But tell me, Ethan—do you really believe his silence is approval?"

For the first time, Ethan hesitated.

Skylar saw it—the flicker of doubt in his eyes. But only for a second. Then, just as quickly, it was gone.
