Dog for an Heir

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!
