When Luca, an unassuming young man, is transported into a foreign world and mistakenly acknowledged by a royal throne, he becomes trapped in a kingdom's most dangerous law. Crowned-or executed-he is forced into the role of king on the eve of the Peerless Crown, a brutal competition that determines the fate of nations and their rulers.
Surrounded by political schemers, reluctant allies, and a princess torn between duty and survival, Luca must navigate a world where power is inherited, lives are expendable, and every move is a calculated risk. In a kingdom already tearing itself apart, the throne does not ask whether he is worthy-only whether he will survive.
