The Crown’s Gambit
Astra stands on the brink of ruin. Prince Kai Voss, the rightful heir, has been cast into the shadows, forced to watch as the ruthless Arlic seizes the throne and tightens his grip on the kingdom. With the powerful House Valerius and a network of corrupt nobles backing Arlic’s reign, Astra descends into a state of fear, deception, and silent rebellion.
Determined to reclaim what was stolen, Kai assembles a band of outcasts and warriors—Mira Solvane, a fierce fighter with a past steeped in blood; Anya, a cunning rogue who knows the city’s darkest corners; and Rolf, his steadfast guardian. Their mission is clear: expose Arlic’s schemes, dismantle his power, and ignite a revolution before Astra is lost forever.
But as the rebellion gains ground, the battle becomes more than just a fight for the throne. Secrets buried deep in Astra’s past begin to unravel—ancient alliances, hidden betrayals, and forces far more sinister than politics. Every move Kai makes pushes him closer to victory, but also closer to a truth he may not be ready to face.
In a world where loyalty is fragile and power is won in the dark, Kai must decide not only how to reclaim Astra—but what kind of ruler he is destined to become.
The war for the kingdom has begun. And the greatest enemy may be the one no one sees coming.
