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

She moved with elegance, spoke with conviction, and wrapped herself in the cloak of the people's hope. But I had seen her type before—ambition hidden behind concern, rebellion wrapped in reform.

And I, Christiana Blackwood, didn't bow to pretenders.

As soon as I left her so-called "People's Agency" meeting, I activated the secure link embedded in my wristband. Only one line was programmed into it. Direct to him.

Seconds later, the call connected. No words were exchanged at first—none were needed.

"You saw the press conference?" I asked, my voice calm but sharp.

Then a slow breath from his end. "Speak."

"She's building something—an agency. Not just for charity or reform. It's a power base, Chris. She's gathering strategists, thinkers, influencers. She's calling it 'The People's Agency,' but I've seen her list of targets. It's the hearts and minds of Sector 30,000 and below."

"She's creating an empire within your Empire. One loyal to her. Not you."

A low hum vibrated from Chris's end—dangerous, calculating. Then he spoke, and his voice was ice.

"She thinks she's leading the people. She forgets I own the people."

I smirked. "She's using your silence as a shield. The masses think you're letting her speak for them. They think she's the moral voice. If this goes unchecked, they'll start looking at her the way they once looked at you."

Chris didn't respond immediately. Then—

"She wants to play God? Fine. I'll remind her who created the heavens she walks on."

He wasn't angry—he was patient. Focused. And when Chris Blackwood got focused, something always broke.

"Thank you, Christiana," he said at last. "Report to me everything she does. Every meeting. Every word. And when the time is right..."

He didn't need to finish. I already knew.

Skylar had declared herself the hope of the people.
