Drake Peregrine

~ Banished Prince ~ A tragic tale, but not altogether unfamiliar. A child born from a fleeting mistake between two people who were never meant to meet. Such was the birth of Drake, illegitimate son of the Emperor and a common maid. Desperate to hide his sins from the world, the Emperor agrees to raise Drake in the imperial palace along with his heir, Gareth. From a young age, Drake showed extreme potential in everything he did. Not to mention his shocking talent for magic. A cunning tactician, a charming prince, and a powerful warlock, he earned the attention of his father. And, unfortunately, his brother. Gareth was quick to plot a way to rid himself of his brother forever, framing him for attempted murder by staging an ambush. The Emperor defended his heir, and banished Drake to the harsh wastelands of the north. However, the ruined prince was fueled with rage, and he promised revenge. When Gareth announces his engagement to the child of a neighboring king, Drake sees his opportunity. He would start with taking away his future spouse, then seizing everything else from his brother, including the crown. Starting on the wedding day.
