Legends of Skidad: Corruption

In a medieval fantasy world, a young nobleman's mundane life is interrupted by a sudden declaration of war by his king, for seemingly no reason. His protests lead to exile, and he soon catches the eye of a mad, power-hungry queen. In the queen's trials set before him, he discovers the true meaning of his kingdom's war, and his own dark secret.
