You are the rightful heir to a vast empire in decline, surrounded by political predators, ambitious family members, and a populace on the brink of rebellion. To claim the crown that is yours by birthright, your lineage won't be enough: you must broker loveless marriages, sacrifice your closest allies, betray your own principles, and constantly dodge assassination attempts in court.
Every decision influences your legitimacy, the support of the nobility, and the danger lurking in the shadows. Will you embrace tyranny to survive, or will you rule with your heart at the risk of losing your head before the coronation?
