The King of Thornwood has fallen gravely ill following a recent hunting accident. His crown will not pass to the strongest son, but to the one with the greatest wealth. Unfortunately, both of the King’s sons are equally rich thanks to the heavy taxes placed upon their people. With no clear heir, the eldest son Edric has hatched a devious plan to steal his brother Cedric’s prized crystals while he sleeps. Will Cedric realise in time that his future is slipping away, or will you help him claim his rightful place as the next King of Thornwood? Both sons are now recruiting loyal soldiers. They need your help to protect their future.
