Tenebrous (The Rite of Kings)

The glorious Kingdom of Candrama has but one fatal flaw, and after a grave mistake of a loyal knight, this flaw is threatened to be revealed in full force. Under the banner of the Mistletain family the kingdom has flourished gracefully and solidarity of its people cannot be understated. Swept beneath the rug, however, is a criminal underworld with deep-seated roots in the higher echelons of society. These clandestine groups have their fingers on the pulse of the capital city of Isle and, suddenly, a knight by the name of Sehren finds himself marked.

The bonds he once held dearest to him crumble around him, and Sehren is threatened to be swept beneath a tide of conspiracy and a storm of hatred. To add to his misfortune, he is linked to an ancient enemy of the people of Candrama, and the citizenry focuses their deep-seated animosity on him. He endures and finds a glimmer of hope in new companions, and amidst the turmoil he devises an escape for the safety of him and his wife. Just as things appear to be taking a turn for the better, tragedy lands upon Sehren’s shoulders. Suddenly he’s backed against a wall with a hard choice in front of him: Either succumb to the machinations of the insidious underworld of Isle, or cleave his way free of the webs that were woven around him.
