Prince of the Blood is a work that explores strength

and weakness, hope and fear, and what it means to be a man-in a kingdom where peace

is the most precious commodity of all.

If there were two more impetuous and carefree

men in the Kingdom of the Isles, they had yet to be found. Twins Borric and Erland

wore that mantle proudly, much to the chagrin of their father, Prince Arutha of Krondor.

But their blissful youth has come to an end. Their uncle, the King, has produced

no male children. Bypassing himself, Arutha names Borric, the eldest twin by seconds,

the Royal Heir. As his brother, Erland will have his own great responsibilities to

shoulder. To drive home their future roles, Arutha sends them as ambassadors to Kesh,

the most feared nation in the world. Borric and Erland will be presented to the Queen

of Kesh-the single most powerful ruler in the known world-at her Seventy-fifth Jubilee

Anniversary.

But they have not even left Krondor when an assassination attempt

on Borric is thwarted. Aware that he is being provoked into war, Arutha does not

rise to the bait. His sons' journey will not be deterred, for nothing less than peace

is riding on it. Yet there is to be no peace for the young princes. When their traveling

party is ambushed, Borric disappears and is presumed dead-sending Erland into spirals

of rage and grief as he is forced to navigate alone the court intrigues at Kesh.

But unbeknownst to anyone, Borric lives and has escaped his captors. In a strange

land, with a price on his head, Borric must use all his wits and stamina to find

his way back to his brother.

On separate paths, the two men-one a fugitive and

one a future king-make their journey toward maturity, honor, and duty. For every

step they take could sway the fragile peace of the land, as those who crave war rally

against them-and become ever more daring.
