Forbidden Tale of the Kingsley
Benedict and Rebeckah Ironblood are a power-hungry political couple who have clawed their way to the highest seats in the kingdom’s government. Their son, Jheran, is raised at the very center of their schemes—taught the art of manipulation instead of morality, strategy instead of affection. He inherits Benedict’s sharp instincts and Rebeckah’s icy, calculated brilliance.
But as Jheran matures, he discovers a truth that chills him more than any rival:
Benedict and Rebeckah will never share power—not with friends, not with allies, and certainly not with their own son.
Feeling trapped beneath their towering shadows, Jheran begins crafting his own path to supremacy. Quietly, he gathers a circle of supporters inside the political machine—disgruntled aides, ignored analysts, ambitious journalists, and enemies of the Ironbloods too frightened to strike directly.
He knows every hidden flaw in his parents’ empire, every lie they buried, every crime they disguised. After all, he grew up beside their throne.
Jheran launches a calculated campaign to dismantle their authority and rise in their place. Scandals erupt. Allies defect. Whispers turn into wars. Benedict responds with brute force and old-school intimidation, while Rebeckah fights with precision and psychological warfare.
But Jheran is their perfect hybrid—and he outplays them using the very tactics they taught him.
When the Ironbloods finally realize their empire is being toppled by their own blood, the family descends into a vicious, political civil war.
In the end, they face the cruelest twist of fate: their greatest enemy was the son raised to be their mirror.
