The first story in Drakkonspawn: Band of Brothers Series. Emperor Claudius Augustus V wanted a different world, as he was tired of the constant wars and division within the kingdoms of his Imvernal Empire. He needed to unite the races under his command. He decided that the best way to do so would be by uniting his bloodline with that of the different races in the territories. It would be an experiment of sorts. He, of course, wouldn't use his children but his brother the Grand Duke of More'Dhen had 6 strong sons and a big enough clan to be well-known and respected. The Dragon shifters of Imverno had ruled the Empire by fire, it was time to see if love was really as powerful as some said.
