Abandoned and ostracized, the prince endures, haunted by vivid dreams of commanding a vast army of the dead. As he navigates the treacherous path to the throne, these dark visions become his driving force. Will the pumpkin-headed prince rise above his cruel fate? Or will the darkness within consume him, ushering in an era of undead dominion? Jackolantern delves into the heart of a kingdom where cruelty and ambition intertwine, exploring the price of power and the haunting question: can a king born from rejection ever escape the darkness within?
