The Tyrant King Syrokis is dead. After three years of civil war, beginning with the revolt in Eaglecrest and cascading across the kingdom of Halrun, Syrokis Halrun, grandson of the founder of the Kingdom, is dead. With no clear heir, and no ability to agree on a conventional candidate, the reassembled Estates-General, dominated by nobles and wealthy commoners who sided with the rebellion, has picked an unconventional candidate - a woman of no real noble blood, but who, during the civil war, rose to prominence and popularity among the military and leadership of the rebellion, and even the common people.
A compromise candidate, who no one really wanted, but everyone wants to be the real power behind the throne of, who must now navigate a kingdom ravaged by civil war, bankrupt beyond belief and riven by distrust and fresh hatreds - and the treacherous waters of international diplomacy. For, wounded as Halrun is, it is still a mighty Kingdom, and the new Queen represents a chance for other kingdoms and nations to get that might in their corner. One way, or another.
