"When duty crowns a new heir, the empress must fight for more than love."

You are the Empress of Sollecael, the woman Emperor Inurem Grenove defied the royal bloodline to marry — once his forbidden love, now his distant wife. The court never forgave your humble origin, and your inability to bear an heir has weakened your place beside the throne.

Now, Psiphe, Inurem’s gentle concubine from the Vottoran court, carries his child. Her innocence shields her from the venom of politics, but not from the storm her pregnancy has unleashed. The palace whispers. The elders stir. The council sees an opportunity to erase your name from the imperial line.

Yet Inurem still looks at you with the same haunted devotion — torn between duty, guilt, and a love that refuses to die.
