Born to Reign - Reigning Crowns & Daggers - E-book - ePub

Dathoviel, 1477  Amidst dance and combat training, history lessons, and lectures on diplomacy, Brianna Carpenter finds herself torn between the familiar comforts of her village and the castle life she grew up believing could be hers-just days before her twenty-fifth birthday and official crowning as princess. Unfortunately, her heart is also pulled in two directions. One being her first love, Drew, the handsome and sweet town doctor, and her current lover, Theo, the enticing and dedicated knight.  Meanwhile, nineteen-year-old Henric arrives in Dathoviel, tasked with infiltrating Queen Amelia's inner circle while his mother, Leah, travels to Petrovia to recover the dagger King Spencer used to take Alaric's life.
But despite years of hearing about the land being his birthright, Henric remains uncertain-both of his mother's plan and his own desires. Is it possible to recapture the throne where his father once sat, and avoid the bloodshed that has plagued the kingdom since his ancestor's time? Or must he walk away to break the pattern of destruction?  Dathoviel is about to be rocked by generations of secrets and lies they never saw coming in this unexpected and heartwarming sequel set almost twenty years after Let it Reign.  The time has come to uncover who was truly Born to Reign. REVIEWS "I can't imagine a more perfect conclusion to this duology.
Cathrine outdid herself! Born to Reign resonated in so many ways: from the sense of duty and obligation, to the hardships that always accompany a coming of age. Cathrine once again beautifully weaves character, relationship and political story lines together so that they create a perfect symphony." "An amazing sequel that stands on its own and might even surpass the first book. Brianna, Theo, Drew, Amelia, Caroline, Henric, and the rest of the characters feel like a group of friends I enjoyed spending time with.
And there is a beautifully diverse cast. Has a very satisfying ending but leaves room for anything to happen in the future... Here's hoping we will get more books set in Dathoviel!"
