The Stone Prince by Fiona Patton
Galactic Spectrum Award nomination * Locus Recommended Reading List * Epic fantasy series with character-driven intrigue and spectacular magicThe royal line of Branion have been blessed, or cursed, with the power of the Flame, a magic which--if wielded properly--none can stand against. But if called upon by one untrained, the Flame is as likely to destroy its human vessel as whatever foe it has been unleashed against.
Yet even the Flame is less dangerous than Her Most Regal and Sacred Majesty Melesandra the Third, an unyielding and terrifying ruler. No one understands this better than Crown Prince Demnor, who is convinced he is his mother's most-treasured victim. Often at odds with Melesandra, Demnor knows he will receive no support from her when faced with the prospect of an unwanted, politically motivated marriage.
But all his personal conflicts must be thrust aside when the realm of Branion is drawn into a far greater struggle as the eternally rebellious Heathland plots a bold new campaign of war. Only time will tell whether Demnor can survive the traitors within the Court and the ever-growing rebel forces--even as he strives to master the power which is his birthright.
Fiona Patton lives with her companion Tanya Huff, six cats, and one tiny little puppy on 75 acres of rural Ontario scrubland. She's also the author of the fantasy novels The Stone Prince, The Painter Knight, The Granite Shield, and The Golden Sword, as well as more than twenty short stories spanning from heroic fantasy to horror to science fiction.
