Chapter 1

When Hadrian Peverell, the immortal Master of Death, arrives in Westeros, he seeks to forge his own path in a land of dragons and thrones. Settling in the unclaimed Shadow Vale, he builds a kingdom of shadows, power, and secrets, navigating a web of alliances, betrayals, and ancient magic. As his influence grows, so does the threat he poses to the great houses of Westeros.

In a world of fire and blood, can a man who wields death reshape the fate of a realm-or will he be consumed by it?
