Disgraced noble Aldric turns lethal retaliation into a path toward reclaiming his hidden power.
Aldric arrives at court divested of title and magical standing, making him instant prey for aristocratic mockery and shadowed assassins. A politically arranged marriage binds him to a stranger, tightening the trap. He refuses submission. Every insult and murder attempt draws a decisive, brutal counterstroke that flips hunters into quarry and forces the elite to confront their miscalculation. Beneath his quiet exterior, something ancient begins to stir, promising a reckoning no one anticipated.
