Forgotten power stirs. The Queen's Blade may be the realm's last hope—or its greatest danger.
After imprisoning the Queen's sister, Zaren stands on a fragile line, knowing he must defend his choice, even as whispers claim she acted only for the good of Busal. Yet the deeper he digs into her motives, the more shadows he uncovers, hinting at a threat greater than treason.
When damaged ships return to Busal's harbors, bearing no answers to what happened, Zaren questions whether it was simple misfortune—or if they were attacked.
Zaren follows a trail of unsettling clues, each revelation more confusing than the last. But as he closes in on the truth, he realizes this power is not only older than legend—it's beyond control.
Zaren must confront the greatest question of all: will he protect the realm at any cost, or dare to become more than the Blade that simply serves?
