An orphaned prince sets his eyes on regaining his father's stolen throne.

Review:

"A truly epic read full of intrigue and betrayal anchored in wonderful characters - some I loved and some I loathed, but all I wanted to know more about. Whether it's combat, politics or human interaction Karen Miller is on the money. Loved it."―John Gwynne on The Falcon Throne
