Book 8: The Holy Stone The Kid Emperor of Occultoria

Book 8 revolves around the discovery and control of the Holy Stone, a scared relic that grants a single wish to the bearer, but is also rumoured to be cursed.

The Grand Duke of Pyria, an independent realm not part of the Occultorian Empire, wants it in order to become Emperor himself. The Bishop of Magicka wants it to enrich himself. Duchess Elizabeth of Magicka wants it to make the Emperor fall in love with her daughter, so that Princess Sanchia would once again become the future Empress of Occultoria. And Emperor Max wants it in order to reunite the whole Empire.

But in order to acquire it, Max is faced with a difficult decision: he must sacrifice a small number of innocent people for the greater good.

Is Emperor Max going to take the easy way out and make such a sacrifice? Or is there another way?
