The Prince's Legacy. The Five Kingdoms: Complete Series 1

Dive into an epic tale of magic, intrigue, and deadly politics, spiced with a pinch of romance and overshadowed by the mortal threat of a deity at war with itself.

"I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started reading 'The Prince's Man', but the reality blew me away." Review

Rustam Chalice serves the spy-master prince with loyalty and enthusiasm especially when that means smooching high-born ladies for pillow talk. But when a threat to the kingdom escalates from political shenanigans to the very real danger of a coup, life turn more deadly.

Lady Risada's service to the prince is a mutually beneficial pact. As the royal assassin, Risada deals with the kingdom's more dangerous rogues, while using the prince's spy network to tease out hints of the identity of her parents' murderer. Being ordered to work with the meddlesome ladies-man, Chalice, is both an unpleasantness and an imposition, and yet she accepts the need to lower her standards for the good of the kingdom.

Manipulating things from behind the scenes, the opposing halves of the land's dual-natured deity wreak havoc with the lives of their followers. Kings, queens, princes, nobles, and commoners alike; all are subject to the schemes and subterfuges visited upon them as the two sides of the deity vie for ascendency.

In a world fraught with deadly political machinations, in a land stolen from the elves, will humanity and elf-kind survive, or will all be laid to waste as divine powers overwhelm the races' natural magics?
