For three years, war has lurked in the south of Chevaladin. When one of their holy generals was assassinated, the Auris Empire laid blame at the feet of their neighbors to the north, claiming the Monarchy of Montiamon was infested by dark powers. And while their crusade marched inexorably forward, the remaining nations of the south worried if they might be next. Now the Empire turns their gaze westward; not for conquest, but for peace. With their war taking longer than anticipated, the Auran emperor demands an audience with the Western Alliance for his own inscrutable purposes and as the nearest nation of the alliance, the Monarchy of Tycortua is forced to play host. But the Aurans are not the only ones with eyes on Tycortua. Dark forces, naught but the herald of dread threats long forgotten, turn their gaze to the ancient nation. Their agents stalk the fogs that descended upon Tycortua's capital.
In this first book of the Ember King's Inheritance fantasy series, discover a story featuring multiple protagonists as the retainers of Tycortua's crown princess work to uncover and stop a secret plot lurking beneath the peace talks between the Auris Empire and the Western Alliance. Allard Fortunata, squire to the elite Crownguard knight, always dreamed of adventure, but the harrowing hunt of an undead monster was not quite the adventure he imagined. Erica Greenmaiden, apprentice mage and research assistant of the princess, only ever wanted to use her magic to protect those she cared about, but schemes in human minds are not the kind of thing magic can defend against. Yet monsters and malicious plots both are nothing compared to the looming threat of an ancient evil long dead but poised to return. As Chevaladin enters the second millennia since the fall of the evil Dusk Tyrant, the heroes and villains from the pages of myth and legend may well become more and more real with every day that passes.
