Deja vu hits Mercia when the kingdom finds itself on the edge of collapse; torn apart by pride, betrayal, and the hunger for power. With his brothers slain, his honor stripped, and his family in peril, Dieo can no longer remain in the shadows. To preserve the legacy of his forefathers, he must confront King Bentley-the very man who murdered his father and shattered his house-and in the struggle, Dieo will discover that the price of justice may reach even the most innocent, and that a king's legacy is written not in triumph, but in sacrifice.
