Mistress of the Dark Lore

Handed the poison chalice, the Empress must solve a mystery and win a war.

Following her spectacular coronation, Mu is invaded by giant, heavily armoured knights. Seizing the moment, the Empress turns her coronation into a War Council and sends everyone packing to defend their realms.

Equally unexpected was the materialisation of a magic key in her pocket, one bequeathed in utmost secrecy by her predecessor before his murder. That it should turn up on her coronation day, the Empress didn't dismiss as a coincidence. "What secrets does it unlock, and why now, Constantine? Did you plan this knowing your fate?" she wondered.

The mystery deepens as the hidden actors reveal themselves, shifting the Saga of Six Realms into another gear.
