As the second son, Micah Brachon is happy to leave the responsibilities of running their small coastal kingdom to his brother. It allows more time for his inventions and experiments. When one of those experiments is sabotaged, his ordinary life is turned upside down - and he finally learns about the deadly faction that seeks to rip apart the foundations of their government. As the stakes escalate, it will take all of Micah's skills to defend against a faceless, desperate enemy. An enemy bent on destroying his brother, and anyone who stands in their path. \*Includes a sneak preview of Shattered Throne, Book One of the Shattered Throne series, now available.

Blood Prince

2016

With his brother gone, Micah Brachon has taken on the role of Duke of Palamar. A role he does not want. When the traitors who had his brother enslaved reappear, Micah must step forward, and become the Duke his people need. It is a role he never wanted, but one he takes on, to move Palamar forward, and keep the kingdom safe from Liam’s return. Micah has to believe that his brother will return. Liam Brachon is surviving in the desert Oasis. As a slave, his life is not his own, but he has found that his mind is - and he can use his mind to plan, to find a way to escape. When he is framed for murder, he is thrust into a role that he may not survive. He becomes a gladiator. Friends in unexpected places give him hope, and for the first time since his abduction, he believes he might have a future beyond the pain. But that future may not be what he expects – or wants.

Cate Dean has been writing since she could hold a pen in her hand and put more than two words together on paper. She grew up losing herself in fantasy worlds, and now creates her own worlds, infusing them with adventure and magic. When she's not writing, she travels to places that inspire her, having her own adventures, and reads pretty much anything she can get her hands on. There ~ I got the official biography out of the way. I love to write, and yes, I have been doing it most of my life. I've made up stories in my head for as long as I can remember, and I’m thrilled to be able to bring those stories to life, and share them with you.
