The Sundered Throne

The Sundered Throne is a dark political fantasy of ambition, corruption, and a dying empire on the edge of collapse.

In the Valorian Imperium, Emperor Cassian IV is fading, and the question of succession threatens to tear the realm apart. Crown Prince Lysander believes strength and steel are the only answers. His younger brother, Prince Kaelen, sees a deeper rot: drained coffers, hidden corruption, and the spreading influence of the Shadow Syndicate, a criminal power profiting from addiction, bribery, and fear.

Beyond the palace walls, enemies gather. The defiant Kingdom of Rhovania tests the northern borders. The Free City of Lysara thrives on secrets and smuggling. In Valoria's slums, Somnia Dust leaves bodies in the streets while whispers of conspiracy grow louder.

As nobles scheme, spies trade dangerous truths, soldiers brace for war, and the throne itself becomes a prize worth killing for, one question remains: can an empire already cracked from within survive the struggle for its crown?

Perfect for readers who enjoy court intrigue, rival heirs, morally complex factions, and shadowy underworld plots, The Sundered Throne is an epic fantasy novel set in the richly imagined world of Aethelgard.
