  Summary

  The guards and king of Corona put Varian in prison because they thought it would help them keep him under control. They thought it would help them. But it ends up helping him far more.

  First real installment in a larger Varian-centric canon-divergent series. (Third work in the series, but the first two were sort of like prologues.)
