DAWN OF AVARICE
book ONE of the siege of aecorath
The first siege begins long before the gates are breached.
Elsterheim stands fortified – politically entangled, spiritually fractured, and quietly vulnerable.
As rival kingdoms form alliances and whispers of invasion gather beyond the horizon, the greatest threat to the throne may rise from within its own bloodline.
the crown is not secure
King Ludica rules a kingdom built on trade, alliances, and uneasy peace. But ambition festers beneath the surface – in council chambers, in rival courts, and within his own household.
When secret alliances begin to form between neighboring kings, Elsterheim's political balance begins to fracture.
As betrayal tightens its grip and war draws near, the royal heirs – Berwyn and Estrith – are forced to confront a truth their father cannot see: The first siege is not waged against stone walls.
It is waged against legacy.
