>>93306822Well to go in depth, it's set in a world where the nobility inherit powers that discerns them from the common folk. These powers range from the ability to read emotions/motives through eye contact, or a teleporting a short distance as long as you have a line of path, which helps in combat.
The whole overarching plot is that pagan gods rise from their slumber, jealous that the descendants of their faithful have forsaken them, and attempt an invasion. It's like if Odin, Zeus, Svarog, Tengri, and even Celtic gods decided to declare war on Jesus.
There's an ensemble of characters, but the main focuses are the grandchildren of the Emperor through his late eldest son; the Crown Prince who is regarded as a prodigy in terms of education and raw talent, who is naive and lacks the experience of the previous generation, who had endured a civil war that began with their birth and ended with the next generation's birth. There's also the sister who I'm still trying to develop more, but she's a Princess who just likes to fight and mostly has trouble getting along with her aunt who was brought back from the frontier (she was married off to a Barbarian King) in order to teach her manners and etiquette. And then there's the younger brother, a meek and timid child who has shown no promise as a knight, he hasn't displayed any noble powers yet, though the family still loves him but he has a lot of pressure for greatness.
