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

Chris stood atop the Blackwood Tower, the wind tugging at his coat as he looked down on the vast empire he had forged—an empire built with fire, sacrifice, and absolute control.

From this height, the city looked peaceful. Obedient. But he knew better.

Power didn't come without pressure. And pressure, if not managed, birthed cracks.

He adjusted his gloves, the leather creaking slightly. Below him, Christiana executed orders with ruthless precision. She was efficient—calculated. A weapon sharpened by years of observation.

But even weapons could dull. Or worse, turn.

Chris turned from the window and made his way into the War Room.

Screens lit the walls. Surveillance feeds, live intelligence reports, whispers of foreign interest in the Blackwood Union. And buried in one corner of the main board—Ethan's name. A red mark.

Chris stared at it, expression unreadable.

He hadn't stripped Ethan of power out of anger—it was necessity. The empire needed discipline, structure. Ethan had grown too bold, too independent. His charisma made him dangerous. His influence, even more so.

He hadn't ordered execution. That, in itself, was mercy.

A soldier stepped forward, saluting. "Christiana has completed restructuring of Sector Four. Civilian obedience is up by thirty percent. But... there's been chatter. Underground. Old names resurfacing."

Chris narrowed his eyes. "The Fang?"

The soldier flinched. "We're verifying, sir."

Chris said nothing for a moment. Then, quietly: "They were disbanded."

He exhaled slowly, fingers drumming on the table. "Increase surveillance on Ethan's movements. Discreetly. If he takes one wrong step…"

He didn't finish the sentence. He didn't need to.

As Chris turned to leave, his voice dropped low:

"Let the world believe Ethan is broken. Let him believe he has time. But the moment he forgets who I am…"

And then, silence. The door closed behind him. And the game continued.

Just say the word when you want more.
