The Speaker’s warning shatters the gilded mask of court, whispers of the Woman in White coil through the halls, and a poisoned toast leaves the nobles trembling. In the council chamber, Virelya steps into the light, her fire unveiled before all. Briggum and Belmont stand as iron at her side, even as Calyndra strikes back with shadow and venom. Zevir faces Aurel in the corridors, where daggers speak truer than words, and in the Guild’s sanctum a final decree is made: shadows hunt their own.
The crown fractures, oaths splinter, and the first season of Ironblood ends in blood, fire, and shadow.
