The boy who would be King has gained the throne...
Prince Honorious Jorg Ancrath vowed when he was nine to
avenge his slaughtered mother and brother—and punish his
father for not doing so. When he was fifteen, he began to
fulfill that vow. Now he is eighteen—and he must hold on by
strength of arms to what he took by torture and treachery.
King Jorg is a man haunted: by the ghost of a young boy, by
a mysterious copper box, by his desire for the woman who
rides with his enemy. Plagued by nightmares of the
atrocities he committed, and of the atrocities committed
against him when he was a child, he is filled with rage. And
even as his need for revenge continues to consume him,
twenty thousand men march toward the gates of his castle.
His enemy is far stronger than him. Jorg knows that he
cannot win a fair fight.
But he has found, in a chamber hidden beneath the castle,
ancient and long-lost artifacts. Some might call them magic.
Jorg is not certain—all he knows is that the secrets they
hold can be put to terrible use in the coming battle...
