The Empire is broken. The Crown is fractured. The Emperor must rise again.
Prince Alexander was perfectly content commanding his fleet, hunting pirates, and avoiding the politics of the court. But when a ruthless assassination plot butchers the royal line, he's thrust onto a throne he was never supposed to have. His treasury is empty, his army is lacking, and the rival kingdom of Nayules is plotting a conquest that threatens to burn the continent.
Alexander’s only hope lies in the ancient Imperial Crown. For centuries its powerful gems have been divided among the kingdoms, but now Alexander must reclaim them. With the Valonian Sapphire granting him mastery over the oceans, and the Saenian Ruby fuelling a terrifying bloodlust, he must learn to control the spirits of his ancestors before they corrupt him.
To rebuild his ruined kingdom and forge an empire, Alexander must secure powerful alliances through blood, steel, and marriage. He’ll build a dynasty alongside his loyal naval captain, a ruthless elven warrior, and a gentle princess fighting for her people’s survival.
They thought they were wiping out a ruined bloodline. Instead, they woke an Emperor.
