Description
Navola is a city built on trade, its palazzos and towers crafted from the wealth it generates. At the heart of this mercantile metropolis lies the Regulai bank, whose influence has grown through generations of cunning and force. The family's ascent has been marked by strategic alliances, patronage of the arts, and a willingness to shape the course of kingdoms. As Davico di Regulai prepares to take the reins of power, he faces doubts about his suitability for the role. His heart is not hardened enough, and he is often naive in the face of danger. Despite these reservations, fate has entwined him with a complex web of events, and his only hope lies with a girl whose family was destroyed by the Regulai, and a mysterious crystalline orb said to be the eye of a long-dead dragon. In Navola's shadowy catacombs and colonnaded porticoes, enemies gather and plot against the young heir. The city's intricate politics and ancient rivalries threaten to engulf Davico in ruin.
