The Imperial Noble

Aeras, 1742. The Drachenstahl Empire has made itself the most powerful nation in Europia, and it did so on the back of the Ironwalker: a ten-tonne, one-man walking war machine designed by Grand Duke Peter von Graff. Across the sea, Britannia rules the waves and the skies, and it has not forgotten.

Dietrich von Graff is twenty, and heir to all of it. Now he is going to the War Academy that made his father a legend, to walk the same near-impossible path his father once did, among rivals who would love to see a von Graff fall, friends worth keeping, and a war that everyone can feel coming.
