Description

'This series may be her best yet' - The Age AN EMPIRE AT PEACE Ten years have passed since the brutal invasion and peace has settled over Penraven. Few people remember the Valisar kings. Fewer still are eager for their return. A PRINCE IN HIDING Prince Leo is conflicted. His anger burns deep at the betrayal of his family but with his kingdom safe and thriving, revenge and upheaval seem to be selfish endeavours. When his hiding place is accidentally uncovered, he's forced to confront the question that has been troubling him for some time. Does he truly want to be king? A NEW DARKNESS ON THE RISE Lured out of his castle by the possibility of a living Valisar heir, the emperor utilises his vast network of soldiers and spies to corner Prince Leo once and for all. But the prince is not the only one with a claim to the Valisar throne, and that heir is discovering a remarkable power with dangerous consequences.
