The king's vow
The Kingdom of Enigma stands at the center of the world, a realm forged in the name of the Goddess of Enigma and ruled by a bloodline blessed by divine power. Since the dawn of its creation, only one law has determined its ruler—the Trial of Kings.
A brutal tradition. A test of strength, will, and power.
To claim the throne, a prince must defeat or kill his competitors.
As the youngest prince, Lucien Aurelian Enigma was never meant to stand among his brothers. Though he could have sought the backing of his mother’s noble family or forged alliances with powerful houses, he refused to rely on them. Lacking the raw strength of his siblings, he was dismissed as an afterthought in the battle for the crown. But fate is not written by men alone.
For in the heart of Enigma, shadows stir. Ancient forces, long thought to be myths, whisper from the depths of history. The blood of the First King, the only demigod to ascend into godhood, still runs in Lucien’s veins. The Goddess of Enigma, unseen and unknowable, still watches from the celestial void.
And where gods turn their gaze, destiny is never simple.
As his brothers—Damian, Adrian, Cassius, and Julius—prepare for war, noble families take sides, and unseen powers move their pieces across the board. But Lucien is not alone.
At his side stands Seraphina Evernight, the youngest Swordmaster in history, a knight with a past shrouded in mystery and a skill unmatched by any warrior of her age. She is bound by neither noble blood nor royal decree, yet her blade will shape the fate of kings.
The world beyond Enigma watches. Seven kingdoms, ruled by the descendants of gods, hold their breath. Two rival demigods, each commanding unimaginable power, prepare to tip the balance.
For the war for Enigma’s throne is only the beginning.
And in the end, this battle will not only decide a king—but the fate of the divine itself.
