Two lesser kingdoms, after two centuries of turmoil both outside and within, see the necessity in making their alliance of convenience permanent. With the marriage between Prince Phillipe of the Desramaux Dynasty and Princess Jolijn of the Biljvank Kingdom, a new empire will be born, along with a new dynastic house. However, not everyone is convinced that this union is what is best for either kingdom. Prince Thierry Desramaux, Prince Phillipe's uncle, will have to find allies in those who he forever considered his enemy if he hopes to stop the wedding. Just how far will someone go in the name of self-preservation, and how much can be justified as such?
