The fragile compromises holding the Great Union together are beginning to fray.
The gathering has begun, but beneath the pageantry of the High Council, old rivalries and competing ambitions threaten to turn negotiation into deadlock.
As the leading powers of Vurtgoren press their claims, alliances are tested, loyalties are strained, and personal interests become impossible to separate from the fate of the Union itself.
In a world where compromise is often mistaken for weakness, pride, ambition, and old grievances shape decisions with consequences that may prove impossible to undo.
Volume II concludes The Price of Arrogance, the first book in The Great Fall series, a slow-burn, grounded political fantasy epic of layered characters, moral ambiguity, and unintended consequences set in a medieval society where old traditions refuse to give way to a more equitable order.
