Dismissed as insignificant, master craftsman Matthew Stone partners with Cameron Carter to flood the market with cheap Frost Crystal, shattering the merchant cartels that once controlled the vital resource. Their workshop expands into crystal glass, reliable firearms, and Farsee Scopes, innovations that draw imperial patronage and fund new border forges. As the treasury swells and frontier defenses harden, Matthew unmasks a network of corrupt merchants and a treacherous Marquis plotting against the throne. Despite relentless scorn and assassination attempts, he refuses to abandon his principles, using ingenuity alone to secure the Grand Dominion.
