**"The Return of the Hidden King"** The echoes of wedding bells still lingered in the air when Kael Renforth, a humble yet brilliant man of lowly origins, was summoned to the frontlines alongside the formidable Lord Alaric Denvair to defend their homeland. Five brutal years of war changed everything. Alaric, the unyielding Earl of Port Avallon, fell in battle. Kael returned triumphant—but to a world he no longer recognized. The once-proud Denvair legacy lies in ruins, and the once-thriving Port Avallon is now carved up by ruthless factions, each vying for control. Worse still, Kael’s beloved wife, the elegant and sharp-witted Lyria Denvair, has caught the eyes of these power-hungry lords. To them, Kael is nothing more than a war-worn soldier, a pawn in a game too big for him. But they are wrong. Kael Renforth is no ordinary man. Beneath his unassuming exterior lies a mind of extraordinary talent and a spirit unyielding as steel. With cunning strategy, unshakable resolve, and secrets that could change the balance of power, Kael will rise from the shadows to claim his place in the urban jungle. His return marks the dawn of a new era—one where he will seize what is his and prove to all that he is the one true king of Port Avallon. War was only the beginning. Now, the game for the city’s soul begins.
