The Rebel's Knife: The Vorhal Legacy

By Rose Marlowe

Cyris Vorhal chose to remain in the Iron Keep. That choice did not make him safe.

Cassian Valcaryn has made the fallen prince impossible to ignore, and every court faction now knows Cyris is the king's weakness. When rebellion rises in the eastern provinces, Cassian needs Cyris's intelligence, his nerve, and the quiet network he built while everyone believed he was only a prisoner.

War changes the shape of their bond. Cyris is no longer willing to survive at the edge of Cassian's power. He wants a voice in the kingdom, a place in the decisions that cost lives, and the truth about who he can become beyond captivity.
But victory brings its own reckoning. An old enemy is captured at the border, and Cyris's past arrives at the gates in chains.

*THE REBEL'S KNIFE is Book Two of The Vorhal Legacy Trilogy. It should be read after THE LAST PRINCE OF OAKHAVEN and ends on a cliffhanger that continues in The Oakhaven Memorial.*
