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 chamber was dimly lit, silence lingering like a shadow. Maps, reports, and diplomatic letters lay neatly stacked on Chris's grand obsidian desk. His fingers drummed slowly against the armrest of his chair, the weight of the conference still sitting heavy on his shoulders—not from regret, but from the sheer scale of what came next.

The doors opened and in walked Skylar, poised in her regal black gown, her eyes searching Chris's. Right behind her stood Baron Elias, silent, composed—but visibly tense under Chris's gaze.

"You've proven yourself… capable. But I need more than capability for the man who dares to stand beside my daughter—the Dictator of the Blackwood Union."

Elias: "I understand, Supreme Ruler."

Chris leaned back, eyes narrowing.

"You'll be tested. Publicly. Privately. Spiritually. You wear the title of fiancé, but not my approval—not yet. My daughter's heart is her own, but her future is mine to secure. Do you agree?"

Elias bowed his head. "I do, my lord."

Skylar watched in silence, then turned her gaze to Chris.

Skylar: "He's loyal, Chris. I've watched him closely. He stands for Christiana—not for her title."

Chris's gaze lingered on Elias a beat longer before finally nodding.

"Then let the trials begin. Starting tomorrow, you will shadow my generals, sit with my strategists, dine with my enemies, and lead with my name. Fail, and I'll remove you myself. Succeed... and you may earn a seat."

"You want to be my son-in-law? Then show me you can rule beside her... or die trying."

Skylar rose slowly. She gave Elias a subtle, reassuring glance.

Chris looked between them—his empress and the man now tied to his legacy—and finally said,
