A Dynasty of Gold and Ivory

When the white queen cannot account the whereabouts of the father of her children, she is placed under suspicion of his mysterious disappearance. Leaving her children potentially fatherless, they can no longer ascend the throne. Without proof of paternity it leaves her children without birthright to ascend the throne despite her being their mother and the main line. Families and households from far and wide come to her defense but under strict law there is no right for ascension without paternity. Denying paternity for her children brings forth a war of supporters of the queen and anarchists who wish to usurp the throne that had been ruled by her family, the Whittakers, for generations.
