June 2nd 1438 -
War is looming close for the residents of the 5 kingdoms.
Each day, the rivalries grow stronger.
Each day, their bonds grow weaker.
Arguments take the place of laughter.
Swearing takes the place of agreements.
Nothing is true anymore.
Nothing is safe.
Prince Nathaniel Kurtzberg has known something is coming for weeks now. An artist notices these things. Hard not to, when all you've seen is walls and doors. If you can't notice the scenery, you notice people. And people have patterns, regularities that make them human. That makes them predictable.
But we all have secrets. Even royal princes. And Prince Nathaniel will soon discover that some secrets are heavier than others. So heavy you feel like you're drowning, where gasping for breath, telling the truth, will be the thing that inevitably kills you.
And the first secret will come with one knock. One delivery. One message.
