The Iron Throne

Synopsis — The Iron Throne Europe, 1702. The continent trembles under the weight of war, famine, and political decay. Kingdoms rise and fall in the span of a breath, and dynasties—once proud and immovable—crumble beneath betrayal and greed. The House of Valenhardt is no different. On the brink of collapse, plagued by treacherous nobles, foreign invaders, and a weakening bloodline, the empire’s fate seems sealed… until the fourth son rises. Cassian Valenhardt, the forgotten prince. A man whispered to be more beast than noble—calm in manner, elegant in dress, but feared for the brutality he unleashes upon his enemies. While his brothers chase glory and his father clings to fading power, Cassian carves a path through Europe not with diplomacy, but with iron, blood, and unbreakable resolve. He purges corruption from within. He crushes armies that dare oppose him. He bends bowed heads and breaks unyielding ones. And with every victory, Europe shifts. From the frozen North to the fractured German principalities, from the warring Italian city-states to the chaotic French courts, Cassian’s shadow grows—whispering one truth across the continent: To survive the new age, one must kneel… or be conquered. But as he marches toward the dream of a united Europe, forces move in the dark—rivals, kings, secret orders, and the remnants of old powers who will stop at nothing to prevent the rise of a new emperor. Yet Cassian does not fear them. He is the beast in a suit. The gentleman executioner. The fourth son who should have been forgotten… and the man destined to sit upon the Iron Throne of a united Europe. ---
