Darling Mortal Readers,

Lucian Ronnet is the heir apparent to the throne in Palion. Destined to be brought up with a father that hates him, he looks to be alone. Yet I, the benevolent Lord of the Dead, have sent him a friend. It doesn't appear that my brother Lord Culgan appreciates my thoughtfulness, but all that does is show his small mindedness, right? As Lucian struggles to be taken more seriously, he is also striving to succeed in various other mortal pursuits. Love. Friendship. Boring if you ask me. By the end can I show him the most important aspect to life. Trust. After all, aside from yours truly, who can actually be trusted?

~Tixdarr Lord of the Dead
