[US + UK] A gritty, slow-burn political fantasy epic where ambition and arrogance carry a high price.

Once every four years, the High Council meets to decide the fate of the Union. For some, the gathering of rulers is a chance to build alliances and influence. For others, it is a reckoning with their past.

As nobles from across the Union travel to a festival where celebration and intrigue walk side by side, old loyalties are tested, dangerous friendships are renewed, and private burdens become impossible to ignore.

While powerful houses negotiate alliances and restless voices push for change, some are fighting quieter battles: against expectation, against duty, and against the past itself.

In a world built on strict traditions and adherence to unenforceable rules, the apparent stability is fragile, and even peace carries a high price.

The Price of Arrogance is the first book in The Great Fall series, a grounded political fantasy of layered characters, fragile power, and unintended consequences in a medieval society where old traditions refuse to give way to a more equitable order.

For readers who appreciate slow-burn fantasy, complex political realities, and deeply human conflicts set in an uncompromisingly realistic world.
