CONQUERED: VOLUME I

By St. Piter Arnstain

What does it mean to conquer a world-and what happens when the world begins conquering you?

Khadija has been raised for rule. Duty, discipline, strategy and power have shaped him from childhood, preparing him for a life in which hesitation carries consequences far beyond himself.

But conquest is rarely as simple as victory.

Across courts, battlefields, family bonds, political upheaval and lands that refuse to obey expectation, Khadija is forced to confront the limits of power itself. Every victory changes the victor. Every responsibility narrows one possibility while opening another. And the harder he tries to master the world around him, the more difficult it becomes to determine where duty ends and the self begins.

CONQUERED - VOLUME I is the first half of a two-volume historical-philosophical epic exploring empire, faith, family, grief, leadership, identity and the strange relationship between strength and surrender.

It is not merely a story about who conquers.

It is a story about what conquest leaves behind.
