Valeria is a magical kingdom filled with vast lands of snow, lush forests, and mountains. It is also a Kingdom filled with varying magical creatures such as Dragons, Phoenixes, and Fairies, as well as monsters that seek to take over the human Kingdom such as Ogres, Trolls, Cerberuses and other violent beasts.
Duke Brandon Devonte is the son of the former King of Valeria, Alfred who was overthrown by his brother, King David. Everyone believes that his father was going to ruin the Kingdom, but nobody knows that it was actually King David who plotted and schemed with his faction to besmirch the name of former King Alfred and was the one responsible for the actual downward spiral of the Kingdom before he usurped the throne from King Alfred. King Alfred, becoming bereaved over his failure as a King, took his own life and left Brandon, as well as his wife to pick up the pieces.
Brandon grew up thinking he was the child of a failed King until he discovered his uncle's secret at his coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 16 when he went to hunt monsters. King David plotted to have Barandon eliminated. The assassin confessed everything before Brandon got rid of him and Brandon vowed to obtain the throne back from his uncle by any means necessary.
King David, being shocked that Brandon survived the assassination attempt, further plotted with his faction to remove Brandon as a threat to his rule by sending Brandon to the cold Northern lands where there were many monsters, but few resources, claiming it was a gift for his nephew. Brandon had to learn to survive in the cold and harsh environment. Luckily, he had his father's knights and servants who remained loyal to his family, move with him and together, they were able to create a comfortable home in the north.
As he's plotting to usurp the throne from his uncle, biding his time and gaining enough allies to do so, his uncle throws a wrench in his plans by having him marry some illegitimate daughter of a Baron.
