Prince of Shadows - Stories of Gereon, #3 - E-book - ePub

An avian tournament. A chaotic prince. An unwanted engagement. Assassins out for blood. Crown Prince Orson of Mannerobes is a turbulent young man, desperately trying to live up to his father's impossible expectations. Engaged to Lady Liadan, a woman he does not love, and longing for freedom, Orson's life takes a darker turn when the Avian Tournament, where birds and their handlers challenge each other in a variety of contests, begins.
When Orson's friend and fellow noble, Overster Tristan Arrington, is poisoned as they greet guests, they discover a sinister assassination plot. As the tournament progresses, Orson's relationship with Lady Liadan's deteriorates, while a new and intriguing bond forms with Sir Rorik Ironhold of Chim, a gemstone connoisseur whose true intentions are unclear. As if juggling the tournament, an unraveling betrothal, and his father's ire isn't enough, it does not take long before a second assassination attempt makes everyone question who the real target is. "Prince of Shadows" is a thrilling tale of passion, complex conflict, and the fierce pursuit of one's true self, set against a backdrop of a vivid fantasy world.
