The throne of Torenne sits empty as its Regent drags her heels declaring a royal heir and duly passing on the crown. Of her four children, it is an unpredictable race between Scions Firstborn and Secondborn, with Scion Thirdborn only months away from coming of age. The noble Houses of the land hedge their bets between them, for politics is a high stakes game. Unbeknownst to them all, two escaped slaves - a lethal warrior, and a detested foundling with a mind and a will sharper than any sword - are speeding towards Torenne, bringing with them the power to tip the balance and irrevocably throw the country into chaos.
