This fantasy novel featuring the delightful (though tormented) Prince Karhiad, was a pleasure to read. The author's voice and writing style is simply dazzling. When I climbed aboard this book and took the journey with the Prince, I felt transported to a new world. Really excellent writing here. - Judge, 6thAnnual Writer's Digest Self-Published eBook Award

Love and war often wear the same crown.

Prince Karhiad, heir to the ruthless King Vilsig of Merrhius, wants nothing more than to rule with compassion in a kingdom built on trust-not fear. But his vision of peace clashes with his father's thirst for conquest. As a dark, ancient force begins to stir beyond the borders, threatening to consume every kingdom in its path, Karhiad and his father must find common ground-or watch their realm fall to ruin.

On the night of his 17th birthday, a mysterious light calls to Karhiad, setting him on a journey that will uncover hidden truths, ignite a forbidden love, and awaken a destiny far greater than he ever imagined. In this gripping tale of good vs. evil, love may be his greatest weakness... and his most powerful weapon.
