Trial by Blades

Edward was born a bastard, shamed by a mother he barely knew. He entered the knight trials not for glory, but to clear her name. Trained in secret by three Round Table masters, he wields Swordheart and a 2000-jin dark greatsword. He defeats Cain. He shatters William's bloodline doctrine. He walks away from the father who never claimed him—and builds a new order. Uncrowned, but a king nonetheless.
