About this title

From the Back Cover:

Prince of Dogs returns us to the war-torn kingdoms of Wendar and Varre, and the intertwined destinies of: Sanglant - the prince of dogs, King Henry's bastard son - believed dead by all who could succor him, he is being held captive in the city of Gent by Bloodheart, the Eika warlord; Liath, now one of the King's Eagles - and still grieving over the loss of Sanglant - she is desperately trying to unlock the secrets of her own past while seeking to evade the traps set for her by an obsessively ambitious man; Alain, raised in humble surroundings but now proclaimed a Count's heir - he is increasingly troubled by visions of the enemy he befriended and the Lady of Battles whom he's sworn to serve; and Fifth Son, least favored child of Bloodheart - he has returned to the lands of his own people to unite the scattered tribes and build an army to do his father's bidding. While King Henry continues his progress through his troubled realm, defeating rebellious lords and gathering their promises of troops to use at Gent, Sanglant, Liath, Alain, and Fifth Son are fighting their own individual battles against almost overwhelming odds.
