Kingdom Conquered

By Charlie Croxton

He came, He saw, He conquered...but he's not king yet

Connor, prince of Monsmagnus, has claimed Oilean-the island kingdom of his mother's blood-by sword and fire. But a crown won in battle is fragile. To rule, Connor must survive the Five Trials of Kingship: ancient ordeals that demand strength, wisdom, power, heart, and balance.

Daryn, heir to a fallen clan, is sent to the capital as a pawn in the game of alliances. He despises the conqueror who cost him his sister. Yet when Connor insists Daryn travel with him through the trials, their clash of wills ignites something neither expected: fascination, attraction, and a slow-burning desire that threatens to consume them both.

Enemies bound together. Desire they cannot deny.

As they journey across Oilean, suspicion turns to reluctant trust, and trust to something deeper. But in the shadows, an ancient force stirs-born of rot, ruin, and the restless dead. It thrives on decay, and it will stop at nothing to see Connor destroyed.

To save Oilean, Connor must complete the trials and awaken the rune-power etched into his skin, while Daryn rallies clans and druids to bind the darkness. Together, they could unite a fractured kingdom. Together, they might stand against the rising tide of death.

Together they hold the fate of the kingdom in their hands
