Inspired by C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, this wild and wondrous novel is a fairy tale for grown-ups who still knock on the back of wardrobes—just in case—from the author of The Wishing Game. “This is the book you’ve been waiting for.”—Richard Russo, Pulitzer...

Prince Pharun was marked by the gods at birth, yet he has lived his entire life in his younger brother's shadow. Despite becoming Crowned Priest, a right hand to the divine, his father only ever treated him with contempt. Now, the king is dead, and he has named his second son his successor. Pharun is prepared to fight tooth and claw for his birthright, even if that means destroying what little family he has left.

The crown is a heavy burden, and Pharun is still fighting to keep his stolen throne. War with East Avralaen is imminent, but the war to keep peace in his own bedroom is far bloodier. There are those who claim to love him, and those who cannot even pretend, and their conspiracies grow thicker by the day.

Lord Théoden has been given orders by King Ara to carry out under his new position, which goes against his desires. Noel, on other hand, has to figure out how to navigate his new life as an enforcer under the King's merciless decree and Marco's sadistic training.
