Tera. Treason and Truth, #2

Relaxing in congenial surroundings, with a roaring fire and good company, the empire's troubles seem far away, and Prince Arkyn expects broken cartwheels to be the worst of his troubles in Terasia. When his grandfather visited, there were celebrations. When his father visited, there was laughter. When his Uncle Scanlon visited, nothing seemed amiss, but Terasia now has secrets, and deadly danger lurks in the Margrave's Residence.
Greeted by the deputy governor and Commander Wynfeld, Arkyn must unravel local alliances and old feuds, decide whom to trust, what to believe, and how much he's willing to compromise to keep the peace... and himself alive. Everyone knew his visit would be written into the annals of history, but with scheming nobles and treachery stalking him, he soon realises his first official posting could be his last.
