The world burns under the gaze of the Pale Sovereign, a timeless figure who rose from myth to throne. As empires kneel and kings fade into history, one man—Kaelen Thorne—crawls out from exile with vengeance in his heart and destiny in his veins.
Once a decorated general of the Iron Crown, Kaelen was betrayed by his king, branded a traitor, and left to die beyond the Ashen Range. But he lived.
Now, he returns not to serve—but to destroy.
As he gathers ancient allies, faces monsters born from forgotten magic, and uncovers the true origin of the Pale Sovereign’s power, Kaelen discovers that the key to victory lies not in the sword—but in a secret buried deep in his bloodline.
But every rebellion has a cost. And some crowns are meant to be broken.
