In the proud kingdom of Daleria, Prince Arin inherits not only a crown but a dark secret. The glory of his people was born of an ancient covenant demanding blood from the royal line. As his father lies dying and enemies rise with unnatural power, Arin discovers the terrible price hidden beneath the kingdom’s triumphs. When betrayal strikes within his own family, sacrifice becomes inevitable. Faced with the choice to preserve the curse or shatter it, Arin risks everything. His brief reign becomes legend, remembered not for victories in battle, but for breaking chains older than the throne itself.
