The opulent yet perilous realm of the Sainted King's royal court undergoes a seismic shift with Prince Bastian's ascension to the throne, as sinister forces stir beneath the surface. The late, corrupt King August's reign has ended, and Prince Bastian, with Lore by his side, aims to cleanse the royal court and aid the people of Dellaire. However, not all are pleased with these changes; nobles spread discord, and the Kirythean Empire threatens their borders. Even Bastian has transformed, becoming reckless, authoritative, and distant. As his coronation looms and foes close in, Lore must safeguard herself, her prince, and their nation before darkness consumes them all.
