Description

In a galaxy scarred by centuries of war, the Second Empire reigns from a throne held by a child emperor, while ancient star‑kings rule the thousand vassal worlds with iron and blood. Technology is outlawed, and the few who remember its secrets are hunted as witches. Against this bleak backdrop, Kieron, the fierce warlord of Valkyr, stalks the marble corridors of the Imperial Palace, his jeweled sword a reminder of his restless fury and the simmering dissent among his people.

Kieron’s patience wears thin as he suspects the scheming Consort Ivane of manipulating the boy‑emperor’s whims. With his loyal aide Nevitta urging caution, the warlord teeters between loyalty and rebellion, his thoughts turning to a strike that could shatter the fragile peace. Listeners are drawn into a world of towering warriors, secretive sorcerers, and a looming clash between tradition and the forbidden promise of forgotten technology.
