In a world divided by war, a young king named Aydrian wages a brutal campaign to seize control. Haunted by voices that drive his ambition, Aydrian forges alliances and betrayals, all while his mother Jilseponie, the former queen, fights to stop him by any means necessary. As armies clash and navies battle at sea, the fate of the land hangs in the balance, with only Aydrian's long-lost mother standing in his way.
