Dog for an Heir: How an Outlaw Becomes a Noble

Book 1 complete  Raised by outlaws, Alensar has dedicated his life to fighting the oppressive ruling class. After he is captured and faces execution, his judge realizes he is the long-lost heir of a noble house. Alensar is given a deal: to keep the inheritance and his life, he must craft himself into the perfect noble and keep his past a secret. Agreeing to the deal is easy; becoming an entirely new person is not.  ************************************************ What to expect: Perfect for fans of both sci-fi and fantasy!
