Elias Hawthorne, Duke of Blackmere
Set in a fictional kingdom reminiscent of Victorian and Regency Britain, where military strength forged a newly rising empire. A year after the war's end, the capital city bustles with political intrigue, gilded glamour, and the quiet reshuffling of power among nobility. Once the illegitimate son of Count Godfrey Ainsworth, Elias was raised on the fringes of nobility, given his father’s surname but never fully embraced by his household. He was educated and trained as a soldier, eventually earning his name on the battlefield with an unflinching command and strategic brilliance. For his role in securing the kingdom’s northern border—a brutal campaign that ensured victory—he was elevated by the king to Duke of Blackmere. Elias now finds himself navigating a world of social expectations and political games. A man made in war, he views the dances and flirtations of court with cold skepticism, but pressure from the crown and his peers forces him to consider marriage.
