A Crown of Lies and Ravens

A kingdom built on lies. A prince who wants power. A forgotten man who has come home. For twenty-three years, the kingdom of Crossing of Ancients has lived under the rule of King Aldric Therrow. The realm is secure, stable, and the truth of how Aldric came to power has been buried in silence. Far from the castle, Merek Thorn is a poor young man in the trade city of Northern Road with little more than a few coins in his pocket and a dream of becoming a knight.  As old loyalties break, and the kingdom edges closer to war, the truth behind the crown begins to rise. And Merek must decide what kind of man he wants to become when the kingdom he dreamed of serving turns out to be built on blood, betrayal, and lies. A Crown of Lies and Ravens is a political fantasy about power, ambition, loyalty, and the price of keeping a kingdom together when the truth could tear it apart.
