Crown of Ashes

In a realm when loyalty is a weapon and crowns are paid for in blood, the line between devotion and defiance runs razor-thin. The Kingdom of Aerthaine stands fractured - its king weakened, its nobles vying for power, and its people restless beneath the weight of war and famine.

Arden Vale, a storm knight burdened by scars no blade can carve, finds himself drawn into a struggle that pits duty against desire. Bound by oath to a crown he no longer trusts, he must choose between silence and rebellion, obedience and the dangerous pull of forbidden love.

But in courts where betrayal is coin and survival demands cruelty, no loyalty goes untested. Every kiss is a risk. Every alliance, a gamble. And every secret could set the kingdom ablaze.

For those who rise, glory awaits. For those who falter, only ruin.
And for those who dare to defy the crown - there may be no mercy at all.
