Heir to Nothing: The Capital Vol 3

Aldric Voss built something that couldn't be ignored.For years, Voss Hold was a footnote - a minor territory in the eastern foothills with unremarkable land and an indebted lord. That is no longer true. The roads, the press, the school, the steel - they have made Voss Hold visible. And visibility, in the Kingdom of Arenthal, has a cost.Now the capital wants answers.Sent to Ardenmoor to account for the Hold's extraordinary growth, Aldric finds a city that runs on influence, obligation, and carefully maintained appearances. The rules he rewrote in the east mean nothing here. The Registry watches. The merchant houses manoeuvre. And the people who want what he has built are far more dangerous than the ones who tried to stop him building it.Volume III of the Heir to Nothing series. The story of a man who built an empire from the rubble - and is now being asked to explain himself to the people who own the rubble.
