Elendor has become a home. Now it must survive what comes next. The kingdom Jonas helped build is no longer new. Lives have taken root, communities have grown, and the promise of something lasting has begun to feel real. But peace has not settled as deeply as it seems. Tensions are growing within Elendor, old certainties are beginning to fracture, and beyond the coast, the sea carries troubles of its own. As pressure mounts from within and without, Jonas is forced to confront what it truly means to protect a home built by people who do not always agree on what that home should become. The Founder's Rebellion continues the story of The Founder's Sigil—a story of loyalty, belonging, division, and what happens when the hardest threat to something you've built isn't one enemy, but the possibility that it might come apart
