The Lord of Nightfall Returns... to a Kingdom on the Brink After years wrestling with his own ghosts, Viktor Helston, Lord of Nightfall, returns to Voltaine only to find it crumbling beneath the weight of betrayal and ambition. His once-loyal friend now wears the crown, but the man Viktor knew is gone—replaced by a ruler hardened by power and bound to the sinister influence of the Ascended, a figure whose whispers threaten to spark a cataclysmic war with at least one of the Children of the Gods. The kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos. Long-forged alliances have fractured, unseen enemies skulk in the shadows, and even Nightfall, Viktor's ancestral seat and the heart of his power, feels alien and unwelcoming.  With gods walking among mortals and power wielded as both a blessing and a curse, Viktor must tread a perilous path. To save his kingdom, he must navigate courtly treachery, unravel deadly secrets, and confront the lingering specters of his past. Every step pushes him closer to a choice: reclaim his legacy as a beacon of hope or succumb to the darkness that has lingered on the edges of his soul. The battle for Voltaine has begun, and in the end, not even the gods may stand untouched.
