Following on from The Prince’s Son, continue reading the gripping Five Kingdoms fantasy adventure… In the aftermath of the devastating coup, King Marten strives to rebuild his subjects’ confidence in the throne, but not all his councillors believe the young monarch is ready to rule alone. An assassin’s stalking him, his closest advisor has been murdered, and rumours have surfaced that the malicious god’s cult is reborn. As Marten grapples with a dark, personal secret, who can he trust? Meanwhile, fledgling spy, Lady Betha, successfully infiltrates a conspiracy. However, getting back out alive with information vital to the king’s survival may prove beyond her capabilities. And as Rustam and Risada search for Risada’s kidnapped son, they find the dual-natured deity meddling with their lives again. If only they could tell which aspect: god or goddess, evil or good? The fate of the land—and possibly mankind—depends on each of them completing their tasks. Problem is, with both sides of the deity now openly interfering in human affairs, will they all survive?
Author
Deborah Jay writes fast-paced fantasy adventures featuring quirky characters and multi-layered plots – just what she likes to read. Fortunate to live near Loch Ness in the majestic, mystery-filled Scottish Highlands with her partner and a pack of rescue dogs, she can often be found lurking in secluded glens and forests, researching locations for her books. Her taste for the good things in life is kept in check by the expense of keeping too many dressage horses, and her complete inability to cook. THE PRINCE’S MAN is her debut novel; first in a trilogy and winner of a UK Arts Board award. Book #2, THE PRINCE'S SON, and #3, THE PRINCE'S PROTEGE, are also available, with the concluding book of the quartet, THE PRINCE'S HEIR due out on December 14th 2021. Also published are urban fantasy DESPRITE MEASURES and short story SPRITE NIGHT, both in the CALEDONIAN SPRITE series. She has published a multi-author SFF anthology which features her SF story, PERFECT FIT. She has non-fiction equestrian titles published under her professional name of Debby Lush.
