The death of the heir forces Liam and Eleanor into public roles while Helena protects the monarchy's image. An attack, a regency crisis, and a disputed legitimacy announcement destabilize the family.

The presumed-dead heir returns and reopens the succession question. Parentage revelations, romantic breakdowns, and a council struggle force the family to reconsider its future.
