Amidst this chaos, Hugh de Leon, the heir to an earldom, finds himself at the center of a web of intrigue and deception. His uncle, Guy, has arranged for him to marry the spoiled daughter of the newly appointed Earl of Lincoln, a union that would combine their fortunes and grant the de Leons unparalleled power. However, Hugh's heart belongs to another - the beautiful Lady Cristen, who he intends to make his own, even if it means eloping to do so. But fate has other plans. When the new Earl of Lincoln is found murdered, a close friend of Hugh's is accused of the crime, and time is running out for Hugh to foil his uncle's arrangement and save his friend from the gallows. The investigation into the murder leads him on a perilous journey to track down a deadly and wily serpent, one that threatens to poison not only the accused but also the entire kingdom. As Hugh navigates the treacherous landscape of medieval politics and technology evolution, he must confront the harsh realities of power struggles, personal allegiances, and the very survival of humanity.
Среди этого хаоса Хью де Леон, наследник графского титула, оказывается в центре сети интриг и обмана. Его дядя, Ги, организовал для него брак с избалованной дочерью недавно назначенного графа Линкольна, союз, который объединил бы их состояния и предоставил бы де Леонам беспримерную власть. Однако сердце Хью принадлежит другой - прекрасной леди Кристен, которую он намерен сделать своей, даже если это будет означать уход к этому. Но у судьбы другие планы. Когда нового графа Линкольна находят убитым, в преступлении обвиняют близкого друга Хью, и время истекает, чтобы Хью сорвал договорённость дяди и спас друга от виселицы. Расследование убийства приводит его в опасное путешествие, чтобы выследить смертельного и коварного змея, который угрожает отравить не только обвиняемого, но и все королевство. Поскольку Хью ориентируется в коварном ландшафте средневековой политики и эволюции технологий, он должен противостоять суровым реалиям борьбы за власть, личной преданности и самому выживанию человечества.
Au milieu de ce chaos, Hugh de on, héritier du titre de comte, se retrouve au cœur d'un réseau d'intrigues et de tromperies. Son oncle, Guy, a organisé pour lui le mariage avec la fille gâtée du comte Lincoln récemment nommé, une alliance qui unirait leurs fortunes et conférerait à De onam un pouvoir sans précédent. Cependant, le cœur de Hugh appartient à une autre - la belle dame Kristen, qu'il a l'intention de faire sienne, même si cela signifie s'en retirer. Mais le destin a d'autres projets. Quand le nouveau comte Lincoln est trouvé mort, un ami proche de Hugh est accusé du crime, et le temps presse pour que Hugh arrache l'accord de son oncle et sauve son ami de la potence. L'enquête sur le meurtre l'amène à un voyage dangereux pour traquer un serpent mortel et insidieux qui menace d'empoisonner non seulement l'accusé, mais tout le royaume. Comme Hugh est guidé dans le paysage insidieux de la politique médiévale et de l'évolution de la technologie, il doit résister aux dures réalités de la lutte pour le pouvoir, la dévotion personnelle et la survie même de l'humanité.

No meio deste caos, Hugh de on, herdeiro do título de conde, está no centro de uma rede de enredos e enganações. O tio dele, Gee, arranjou-lhe um casamento com a filha mimada do recém-nomeado Conde Lincoln, uma aliança que uniria as suas fortunas e daria a De onam um poder sem limites. No entanto, o coração de Hugh pertence a outro, a bela senhora Kristen, que ele pretende fazer dele, mesmo que isso signifique uma saída. Mas o destino tem outros planos. Quando o novo conde Lincoln for encontrado morto, um amigo próximo do Hugh é acusado de crime, e o tempo expira para que o Hugh descumpra o acordo do tio e salve o amigo da forca. A investigação do homicídio leva-o a uma viagem perigosa para encontrar uma cobra mortal e insidiosa que ameaça envenenar não só o acusado, mas todo o reino.

In mezzo a questo caos Hugh de on, l'erede del titolo di conte, è al centro di una rete di intrighi e inganni. Suo zio, Guy, ha organizzato per lui un matrimonio con la figlia viziata del conte Lincoln, appena nominato, un'alleanza che avrebbe unito le loro fortune e dato a De onam un potere senza limiti. Ma il cuore di Hugh appartiene a un'altra, la splendida Lady Kristen, che ha intenzione di fare sua, anche se questo significhi lasciar perdere. Ma il destino ha altri progetti. Quando il nuovo conte Lincoln viene trovato morto, il crimine è accusato da un caro amico di Hugh, e il tempo scade per far saltare l'accordo di suo zio e salvare un amico dalla forca. L'indagine sull'omicidio lo porta in un viaggio pericoloso per rintracciare un serpente letale e insidioso che minaccia di avvelenare non solo l'imputato, ma tutto il regno. Poiché Hugh è incentrato nel panorama insidioso della politica medievale e dell'evoluzione tecnologica, deve affrontare le dure realtà della lotta per il potere, della dedizione personale e della sopravvivenza stessa dell'umanità.
Inmitten dieses Chaos findet sich Hugh de on, der Erbe des Grafentitels, mitten in einem Netz von Intrigen und Täuschungen wieder. Sein Onkel, Guy, arrangierte für ihn die Ehe mit der verwöhnten Tochter des neu ernannten Earl of Lincoln, eine Allianz, die ihre Vermögen vereinen und de onam beispiellose Macht verleihen würde. Hughs Herz gehört jedoch einer anderen - der schönen Lady Kristen, die er sich zu eigen machen will, auch wenn dies bedeuten würde, dass er sich darauf zurückziehen würde. Doch das Schicksal hat andere Pläne. Als der neue Earl of Lincoln ermordet aufgefunden wird, wird ein enger Freund von Hugh des Verbrechens beschuldigt, und die Zeit läuft ab, damit Hugh die Vereinbarung seines Onkels durchkreuzt und seinen Freund vor dem Galgen rettet. Die Mordermittlung führt ihn auf eine gefährliche Reise, um eine tödliche und heimtückische Schlange aufzuspüren, die nicht nur den Angeklagten, sondern das gesamte Königreich zu vergiften droht. Während Hugh durch die heimtückische Landschaft der mittelalterlichen Politik und der Entwicklung der Technologie navigiert, muss er sich den harten Realitäten von Machtkämpfen, persönlicher Hingabe und dem Überleben der Menschheit selbst stellen.
