Kael became emperor at twenty-one after the sudden death of his father. The empire was already falling apart. Noble families were fighting for control, the military was divided, and neighboring kingdoms were preparing to invade. Kael eliminated every threat to his throne. Within seven years, he transformed Veyrath into the strongest empire on the continent. His victories earned him the name The Iron Emperor. But ruling came at a price.

Until you.
