An heir believed murdered survives eighteen years in obscurity, forging a new existence as a blacksmith alongside an adopted daughter.

The reunion collapses when that son, ignorant of their blood tie, arrests both the father and the girl and locks them in a dungeon. Now the returned patriarch must dismantle the impostor's empire while waging a war against the very child he lost.
