The boy who would be king has gained the throne…
At age nine, Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath vowed to avenge his slaughtered mother
and brother–and to punish his father for not doing so. At fifteen, he began to
fulfill that vow. Now, at eighteen, he must fight for what he has taken by
torture and treachery.
Haunted by the pain of his past, and plagued by nightmares of the atrocities he
has committed, King Jorg is filled with rage. And even as his need for revenge
continues to consume him, an overwhelming enemy force marches on his castle.
Jorg knows that he cannot win a fair fight. But he has found a long-hidden cache
of ancient artifacts. Some might call them magic. Jorg is not certain–all he
knows is that their secrets can be put to terrible use in the coming
battle…
