Will civilisation collapse with a donkey on the throne? Carson Barker certainly doesn’t think so, and quickly appoints himself into the unenviable role of imperial translator. However, it isn’t going to be an easy ride. With assassins, blood-thirsty fishmongers and furious homemakers around every corner, each seeking to be the first to kill the new regent and seize the throne themselves, Carson finds himself squarely in the firing line by association. Little do they know this is no ordinary donkey, and the future of the Empire, possibly even the world, rests on Carson's ability to keep this extraordinary animal alive. Will he manage to save his ass? Find out in the witty and action-packed book one of the Three Crowns series. A Donkey, A Stablehand And An Empire is book 1 in the 9 book saga of the Three Crowns

Stabbed, half-drowned and furious, Victor Claye finds himself back on the Empire's shores and all is not well. Turned away by the very people he tried to help and missing a large chunk of time from his 'travels', Mr Claye finds himself with a moral dilemma - return to the Emperor and risk running into Mortaris again or sit back and let the mages work things out for themselves. While the latter certainly seems tempting he cannot shake the feeling that someone has their eyes on him. Chased by his brutal past in his dreams, the choice to act might yet be out of Victor's hands when inaction could bring a fate worse than death to Caer Innar. Only one question remains, has she returned?
