When the heir to the throne dies under suspicious circumstances, the future of France fractures overnight.

Gabriel de Roussel was never meant to stand at the center of it. A knight by training and a strategist by necessity, he finds himself drawn into a deadly contest of power where loyalty is currency and truth is treason. In the glittering halls of Paris, alliances shift like sand. Noble houses whisper. Bishops maneuver. And enemies smile while measuring coffins.

But the struggle for France is not confined to court intrigue.

Beyond the palace walls, war gathers. Old rivalries blaze anew. A force of terror has begun to move across the skies, leaving devastation in its wake and forcing even the most hardened warriors to confront something they cannot command, cannot reason with, and cannot easily kill.

As factions clash and secrets tighten their grip, Gabriel must decide what kind of man he will be - and what he is willing to sacrifice to defend the realm.

In a world where crowns are fragile and fire falls from above, destiny does not ask permission.

It takes.
