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

Adrian's hands tightened around the paper as he read it again, his heartbeat slow but heavy. The offer Chris had laid before him was nothing short of madness.

A chance to walk free. A chance to reclaim power.

But under one condition—he would serve.

Chris wasn't offering mercy; he was offering control. A leash disguised as an opportunity.

Adrian let out a slow breath, setting the paper down. His gaze flickered to the locked door, the single lamp casting long shadows against the walls. He wasn't naïve. Chris wouldn't make this easy.

A sharp knock interrupted his thoughts.

The door creaked open, and a figure stepped in—tall, composed, a silent enforcer of Chris's will.

Her cold gaze locked onto him. No pleasantries. No pretense.

"My father is being too generous." Her voice was quiet but laced with venom. "I would've left you in that cell until your name faded from history."

Adrian smirked, leaning back in his chair. "Well, it's a good thing you're not the one in charge, isn't it?"

"You're a threat. And threats to the Blackwood Empire do not get second chances."

"Then why are you here, Christiana?" Adrian's voice dropped, his smirk widening. "To make sure I don't accept? Or to make sure I don't live long enough to?"

Christiana took a step forward, closing the distance between them.

"If you even think about betraying us, I will end you myself."

Adrian chuckled, shaking his head. "You always were the ruthless one, weren't you?"

Her eyes narrowed. "You don't belong here, Adrian. You're an outsider. My father may be willing to gamble, but I'm not."

Adrian stood, his chains clinking. He looked her directly in the eyes. "Then maybe you should kill me now, before I prove him right."

For a long moment, silence hung between them. A battle of wills.

Then, Christiana turned sharply on her heel.

"The guards will escort you to the tower. You have until sunrise to decide."

She disappeared through the door, leaving Adrian alone once again.

This wasn't just about survival anymore.

And he would make sure that no one—not Christiana, not Ethan, not even Chris—would ever look down on him again.
