Dray watches his kingdom crumble as starving citizens abandon the city, walking through broken gates toward the enemy's cookfires and the promise of a hot meal. In desperation, he makes a choice that transforms him from conqueror to jailer—sealing the gates not to keep invaders out, but to trap his own people inside. With no food, no loyalty, and walls that now imprison rather than protect, Dray finally has the kingdom he wanted. But as he stands in the square surrounded by the pure, distilled hatred of his subjects, the cost of his ambition becomes devastatingly clear.
