A disgraced mage retaliates against assassins and scheming nobles with devastating force.
Aldric returns to court already condemned, his rank and magic revoked, leaving him exposed to sneering aristocrats and blades in the dark. A forced union with a stranger adds a dynastic chain to the death sentence. He does not plead. Each slight and strike is answered with disproportionate violence that reverses the hunt, dragging the powerful from their thrones into the mud. Something old and vast stirs beneath his calm, signaling a reckoning that will not stop at mere survival.
