The battle was over, but the kingdom was left in ruins, its future uncertain. The rebellion that had once sparked hope was now broken, torn apart by betrayal and war. Giovanna, once a symbol of hope, had been shaped by exile and a forced marriage to Balaric. She was no longer the woman Edweyn had known—her once bright spirit replaced by a cold resolve.
Edweyn, too, had changed. His loyalty to King Richard was shaken, but duty still bound him to the crown. His love for Giovanna remained, but it was clear they were no longer meant to be.
Meanwhile, Jane's destruction had been limited. She had killed alot, broken some castld walls, and left the castle in ruins. But her rage had only scratched the surface of Richard's power. The kingdom had survived, though weakened. Richard still reigned, and Jane disappeared into the night, her power still burning inside her, waiting for the next move.
As Jane's future remained unclear, another journey began. Ezra woke in 2029, lost in a world that felt alien. His past, the war, and the rebellion were distant memories, and a strange book guided him through the uncertainty.
Though the war was over, the paths of these people were far from finished. Their destinies still awaited.
