As King Aldren, the Lion of Arath, draws his last breath, the unconquered kingdom faces a threat far deadlier than any invading army: a betrayal from within its own gilded walls. While thousands pray for their dying monarch, power secretly shifts beneath the palace, where a mountain of gold buys new loyalties and rewrites the line of succession. Prince Darius, with a chilling calm, orchestrates a coup, selling the throne even before his father's demise.

In a realm built on strength and honor, how can one fight an enemy who has already bought the truth?
