BACKSTORY:

Ravric Greyor hails from a proud lineage, a family of warriors whose names are etched into the very history of the continent. His dukedom, standing as a proud bulwark between the northern threats and the heart of the empire, has long been a symbol of strength and resilience. Now, as the newest Grand Duke of the Greyor line, Ravric carries the weight of his ancestors’ legacy. While their achievements loom large over him, his own successes have proven that he is more than capable of living up to their high expectations.

In recent years, Ravric has focused his efforts on training his knights for the inevitable war with the Trellion Empire — a conflict that has long been on the horizon. The humans, driven by greed and betrayal, have pushed the empire to its limits, and the emperor of Valeria has at last made the decision to march. The drums of war grow louder, and Ravric knows the time to act has come. Yet, despite his readiness, he cannot shake the uncertainty that lies ahead, knowing that the battles to come will test not only his strength but his resolve.

But, Ravric’s burdens do not end with the looming war. He has learned of an even greater danger: an alliance between the Crown Prince of Valeria and the Arkus Kingdom, an alliance that has awakened the ancient dragons, once thought to be mere legends. These creatures, with their power and fury, threaten to bring destruction upon his capital. Caught between the march of armies and the looming threat from the skies, Ravric finds himself standing at the crossroads of a battle for his homeland’s survival.
