In the halls of the imperial court of Inor, mercy is but a fleeting shadow, rarely bestowed upon those deemed unworthy by the capricious whims of power.
Symonnet Bittencourt, heir to the crown, stands at the precipice of destiny, a pawn in the deadly game of politics that threatens to consume him whole. As the heir to a shattered legacy, he grapples with the weight of his family’s sins and the burden of their redemption, and a terrible magic he cannot control.
Betrayed by those he once called kin, Symonnet finds himself thrust into a world of intrigue and danger, where the stakes are high and the consequences dire. With his honor tarnished and his future uncertain, he must navigate the treacherous waters of courtly life of the Empire of Inor, a nation of werewolves waging a devastating war across the continent, lest he drown in the sea of deception that surrounds him.
Along the way, Symonnet encounters allies and adversaries alike, each vying for power and influence in the shadowy corridors of power. His own closest advisor, his capricious uncle, is violent and vicious.
But amidst the chaos and turmoil of courtly life, Symonnet finds unexpected solace in the form of Nadar, the emperor’s enigmatic personal guard. Bound by duty and honor, Nadar offers Symonnet a glimpse of the man behind the mask, a beacon of light in the darkness that threatens to consume them both.
As the machinations of court intrigue unfold, Symonnet must confront the demons of his past and forge a path forward in a world where trust is a rare commodity and betrayal lurks around every corner. With danger lurking at every turn, he must rely on his wits and his courage to navigate the treacherous waters of courtly life and emerge unscathed.
But when a letter arrives bearing ominous tidings, Symonnet’s resolve is put to the ultimate test. With the fate of empires hanging in the balance, he must make a choice that will shape the course of history and determine the fate of all who dwell within the shadow of the imperial throne.
In the court of Inor, mercy is a rare commodity, but Symonnet Bittencourt is determined to defy the odds and carve out a future worthy of his name. With courage in his heart and steel in his hand, he will face the challenges ahead with unwavering resolve, for he knows that the path to redemption is fraught with peril, but the rewards are worth the risk.
