Legacy of Blackwood – Synopsis

Decades after Chris Blackwood reshaped the world, his empire stands unrivaled, with its influence stretching across nations. The Blackwood Union rules with absolute authority, dictating the course of history itself. But as the throne transitions to a new ruler, the balance of power shifts, and old alliances are tested.

Ethan Carter, the trusted right hand of Chris, has been named the new Supreme Ruler. With his appointment comes the weight of expectation, the burden of maintaining an empire built on dominance, and the whispers of betrayal lurking in the shadows.

Classic Blackwood and Christiana Blackwood—each with their own vision for the future—must decide where their loyalties lie. Skylar Blackwood, ever watchful, remains a force to be reckoned with, her ambitions far from fulfilled.

But as external threats rise and internal conflicts brew, the question remains: Will the Legacy of Blackwood thrive under new leadership, or will it collapse under the weight of its own power?

A tale of loyalty, ambition, and the price of absolute rule—Legacy of Blackwood begins.

The war room was dimly lit, maps glowing under digital projectors, red pins marking volatile zones—strategies unfolding like veins of a living beast. I stood at the head of the long blackstone table, flanked by my generals and enforcers.


Xavier walked in—no announcement, no hesitation. The Caniner. The Empire's newest blade.


"You're late," I said flatly, not looking up from the intel report in front of me.


He stepped forward, gloves tucked into his belt. "I don't answer to time. I answer to Him."


I looked up. "This is an internal development meeting. Your presence isn't required."


Xavier grinned, slow and deliberate. "You mistake presence for permission, Christiana. I'm here because your plan is flawed."


I stepped around the table, toe-to-toe with him. "The Dictator governs all systems within the Empire. This decision—how we reassign resources—is mine."


"And when those resources affect our border deployment?" he countered. "It becomes mine."


I narrowed my eyes. "You will not override my directive."


He didn't blink. "I already did. Troop movement began at dawn. Your command to hold back the reinforcements was ignored on my authority."


He leaned in, whispering just enough for the room to hear. "No. That's balance."


Christiana—brilliant, iron-hearted, loyal to a fault. But she had one blind spot: she thought her position was above question.


"I've already informed the God-Emperor," I said aloud. "He sanctioned my override. In war matters, I lead. You lead the law and order. Stay in your lane."


Her jaw clenched. Her fingers trembled—just slightly. Only someone like me would notice.


I didn't need to win the room. I already had.


But I respected her fire. That was why I didn't press harder.


I turned my back on her like a knife sliding into silk.


Let the Empire feel the tremor of its twin titans.


This wasn't just administration anymore.
