The Carlyle School for Kings (2024-)

The Carlyle School for Kings has admitted its newest student: Emmelene Heron. Her family’s history of treason is a matter of record, but the ancient academy’s doors remain open to the kingdom’s most promising youth. Inside its halls, candidates are rigorously tested in matters of heart, strength, and mind. The entire process is governed by the King Cycle, a thirty-year decree from Godwit himself designed to crown a ruler whose youth preserves their hope. Among the polished heirs and polished ideals, Emmelene’s presence is a cold, deliberate flaw in the system.
