When King Alden is murdered on his own throne, the royal court fractures overnight. Prince Elias inherits not just a crown, but a nest of enemies: his uncle Alaric moving soldiers in the shadows, nobles who trade loyalty for coin, and spies who turn every whisper into a weapon.

To protect the realm, he must learn faster than his enemies expect—burning illegal armories, unmasking traitors inside the council, and wielding deception as keenly as steel. But every victory costs him: friends, innocence, even mercy. “Trust no shadow,” his father warned—and in this game, even his closest adviser carries secrets that could shatter him. If Elias cannot master the game of knives played around his table, the city will bleed, the throne will fall, and the crown will be shattered forever.

To win, Jay must become the most ruthless architect the world has ever seen. The market is open. And Jay is about to short-sell the world.

Three chapters a week. link to cover artist: https://www.fiverr.com/winda_chu?source=inbox  Usually, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 words per chapter. Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read. Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025. I have heard the grammar in the earlier chapter has been an issue for many, and admittedly, I have always sucked at that aspect, which I have gotten a lot better at over the years, so I will be redoing that. Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.
