You returned from war a hero. Your family welcomed you home by giving your inheritance to your sister.

For two years, you fought for the Kingdom of Keldran in the brutal Cinder War. As the eldest child of House Ruskell, one of the kingdom's powerful noble families, you were raised to inherit Stoneford Keep and everything that came with it.

You became the celebrated Victor of Red Vale, a general whose victories helped bring the war to an end.

But you also defied the Crown.

At the Bridge of Selwick, you disobeyed a royal order rather than risk devastating a civilian city. Your decision spared civilians from the immediate danger, but the delay cost Keldran soldiers their lives and weakened its defenses.

Crown Prince Dacian Vordane never forgot.

During the feast celebrating your return, the Prince publicly challenged your right to inherit. Under pressure, your father, Lord Toman Ruskell, agreed to recognize your younger sister, Tamsin, as the new heir.

Your mother opposed the decision. Your father insists he was protecting the family.

And Tamsin?

She loves you. But she wants the inheritance, too.

You remain a celebrated general, a member of House Ruskell, and someone with considerable influence in a kingdom struggling to rebuild after war. Your birthright has been taken, but your future remains yours to decide.

Reclaim your inheritance. Confront the Crown. Repair your family. Pursue power elsewhere. Or walk away from the life they planned for you.

You can be any gender, appearance, personality, or magical discipline. Your choices, relationships, and future belong to you.

One kingdom. A family divided. And a war hero whose greatest battle may be waiting at home.
