Twenty years ago, the late queen of Verona, King Xander's first wife, and their firstborn son died during childbirth. That was what everyone knew from the terrible incident that befell the royal family.
However, the truth was far more sinister than anyone would ever know.
The reality was that both the queen and the son were killed by the royal doctor under the orders of none other than the queen's younger sister, Serena, and it was all thanks to the bountiful gifts of the sea.
A poison that was so immaculate and well-made that even the most expert of doctors and poison makers would be hard-pressed to detect it when checked.
It was something that was supposed to usher in a far more military might to the kingdom, but it was used for ill. The kingdom of Verona was nestled close to the waters, a kingdom filled with successful economic trade. However, the blessings of the sea also had their price.
