Synopsis
Third prince Belca returns to court, facing deadly intrigue and shifting alliances that threaten his life and kingdom's stability.
Belca Noctircus is the third prince of the royal Noctircus family, born to a commoner mother and the King. As third in line for the throne, he has lived much of his life away from court politics. Upon returning to the kingdom, Belca finds himself drawn into the complex web of royal intrigue when circumstances surrounding his family begin to shift. He crosses paths with Eco, a wandering bard and scholar whose knowledge proves invaluable. Meanwhile, tensions rise within the palace as various factions vie for power, and Belca must navigate dangerous alliances and hidden agendas that threaten not only his position but the very stability of the kingdom. The story follows Belca's journey as he discovers that being born into royalty comes with unexpected dangers and responsibilities that will test his character and force him to question everything he thought he knew about his family and his place in the world.
