The Republic collapsed from within. While Washington tore itself apart with corruption and ambition, a soldier-writer named Harry Ironside tried to make sense of a nation at war with its own reflection. His love, President Reyna Karam, was killed under suspicious circumstances-her death igniting the fuse of America's second civil conflict. In the shadows of the White House, Richard Cromwell, the calculating Chief of Staff, plotted a coup under the guise of patriotism, using President Armistead as his pawn. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Prince Edward Tudor-exiled, broken, but burning with purpose-saw in America's ruin a chance to forge a new crown from the ashes of democracy. From the borderlands of Texas to the shattered harbors of Norfolk, the nation bled. Ironside rallied the forgotten-veterans, ranchers, and Tejano descendants-into an army of resolve. Cromwell's armies closed in; foreign fleets appeared off the coast. The Republic had ended, but the idea of America had survived... changed forever. Yet beneath the calm, danger stirs. Old enemies whisper. The victors bleed quietly. The crown is heavy. And the next chapter has only just begun.
