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 Blackwood Citadel was unusually quiet.

Chris sat alone in the Inner Sanctum, the golden insignia of the empire glowing faintly behind him. Before him stood Ethan—reinstated, but still under watch.

Chris didn't speak immediately. He studied Ethan like a chessboard—measuring, calculating.

Then, finally, he leaned back in his chair. "If you are to serve again, then you must understand the new order. My bloodline is no longer just a family. It is a ruling system."

Chris's voice was calm but firm. "Break it down. One by one. Their titles, their power, their reach. Starting with me."

Ethan finished. Chris rose slowly from his seat, hands clasped behind his back.

"You've done your homework," Chris murmured. "Good."

Then his voice hardened. "Remember your rank. You're not part of my bloodline. You serve under it."

Ethan didn't flinch. "I understand."

Chris stepped forward, eyes like fire. "Then let's see how long you last this time… Phantom King."
