EJCordoue
The protagonist, Caelan Drakemore, is the last surviving member of a disgraced noble house. His family was once the most trusted allies of the crown, renowned for their bravery and loyalty-until they were betrayed, framed for treason, and executed.
Years later, Caelan has survived by hiding his true identity, living as a lowly mercenary on the fringes of society. But when rumors surface that the traitor who destroyed his family is still alive and serving in the king's inner circle, Caelan is drawn back into the dangerous game of politics and power.
