With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains.
His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield.
With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further.
Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence?
At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm.

Decent story about a medical viscount.
There are no fantasy elements, which means the territory building does not consist of uniting all races to hug a tree, instead consist of management, intrigue, trade and war.
You should know when reading: king>Duke>earl>viscount>baron>knight And there is map on the donation page.

This is quite the promising novel of its genre. First of all, the writing style is of good caliber. The plot is slowly and steadily being revealed and the progress is really interesting. I love the Viscount's attitude, but I'm hoping for a better character development. So far, everything is impressively done.
Keep up the good work, Author.

One of the finest novel here and so well written. I'm amazed at the author's writing style and the world that the author has created in the story. The story development keeps to hooked and keeps you wanting for more. I'm looking forward to Braydon's journey ahead. Keep up the good work, dear author. ♥

I find it confusing at first because I don't know much about the British hierarchy but as I slowly read on, I slowly understood how it works. The story plot is slowly progressing but it was quite good, with humour added in. And there's a glimpse of cute romance inserted there. The way the author writes was simply nice, easy to understand, without those big words. It was an enjoyable read, inDEEd.
