They called him a hopeless prince and exiled him to a forgotten corner of the kingdom. But in a world that burns witches, Alaric sees not evil, but opportunity. He offers these persecuted women sanctuary, and in return, they unleash their forbidden magic to fuel his modern ambitions. Together, they forge an industrial city in a dark age, a fortress of unthinkable power. As his enemies—both family and faith—gather at his gates, Alaric must stake his claim. Can one man and his coven of witches conquer a kingdom, or will their utopia be reduced to ash?
