When Prince Ranon Valeros — the emperor’s favored son — is exposed as a traitor and vanishes without a trace, the balance of the Valerian Empire falters. What began as whispers in the capital soon became a shadow stretching across the empire’s heart, one tied not only to politics and pride, but to something much older and much, much more dangerous.

Summoned from the far northern duchy of Greyor, Grand Duke Evaric Greyor returns to the capital. As commander of the Greyor Knights and the empire’s unwavering bulwark, he is drawn into the storm of accusation and fear that now grips the court.

But fate, ever wonderous in its timing, chose that same moment to set another piece in motion — you, Commander of the Orchid Order, the empire’s second-highest knight division and Evaric’s long-estranged comrade from the academy days that shaped you and him both.

Your reappearance was not mere coincidence. The Orchid Order’s investigations into noble corruption have led you closer to truths buried beneath Ranon’s treachery — truths that reach into the empire’s divine foundations. And for Evaric, whose life has been built upon discipline and denial, your return threatens the calm he has long maintained.

As Xara’s unseen hand weaves destiny tighter around them both, loyalty and emotion blur, and the Grand Duke must face an impossible choice: uphold the empire’s fragile illusion of order… or confront the divine rot festering beneath its golden crown.
