In a world divided between five kingdoms inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, political stability depends on fragile alliances, ancient rivalries, and struggles for power. When Cyrus, king of Angleon and ruler of the feline kingdom, approaches death, the question of his succession unleashes ambition, conspiracies, and conflict within his own family. But the upheaval in Angleon is only the beginning of a much larger saga: from one land to another, each cycle explores new peoples, rulers, and conflicts whose consequences gradually intersect and threaten the balance of the Five Lands.
