From the publisher:
In the heart of medieval England, amidst the rugged landscapes of the Kingdom of Northumbria, power resides in the hands of two formidable factions: the Court De Aigle and the Wulfgrims. The Court De Aigle, descendants of the Norman invaders, cling to their heritage and authority with an iron grip. Despite the passing decades, their influence persists, their castles standing as a testament to their enduring dominance. In stark contrast, the Wulfgrims represent the indigenous Saxons, fiercely proud of their ancestry and determined to reclaim what they perceive as their birthright. Bolstered by a diverse coalition of allies from the Otherworld – centaurs, goblins, and dwarves – they wage a relentless campaign against the Norman usurpers. As tensions escalate between these rival factions, the kingdom teeters on the brink of chaos. Each side lays claim to the throne, invoking ancestral rights and sworn allegiances to rally support to their cause. Yet, in the shadows of intrigue and ambition, a plot twist lurks, threatening to upend the carefully constructed balance of power. Amidst the chaos of political manoeuvring and martial conflict, a long-buried secret emerges. This revelation, a twist of fate woven through the tapestry of history, casts doubt upon the legitimacy of both factions' claims to the throne. Now, as the kingdom stands on the precipice of civil war, alliances will shift and loyalties will be tested.
