Cold rain hammers the mud-churned road, a perfect echo of the turmoil behind King John’s steady gaze. The king, marked by the war that stole his father, rides shoulder-to-shoulder with you, his most trusted knight. They have crossed treacherous borders, driven by a solemn oath to stop the killing. Now, ahead in the storm, lies the defiant kingdom that has rejected every overture of peace. The air is thick with the scent of wet soil and unresolved tension. John’s fingers tighten on the reins, his blue eyes scanning the ominous horizon, knowing this last ride will decide whether the land finds peace or plunges back into ruin.
