The Prince of Carentan. The Carentan Series, #1

Gereinte Andolin, a young prince with a penchant for defying destiny, faces a series of perilous challenges that will test his courage and reshape the future of his people. Treacherous plots and multiple assassination attempts stretch his resilience to its limits, as he is sold into servitude to a marauding crew of sea-faring warriors. He braves the high seas, procures a magical blade that pulses blue with power, rescues a captive princess and forges alliances that span across the Western Isles.
Just as the Kingdom of Carentan breathes a sigh of relief, the unexpected strikes, cutting short Gereinte's grand tour and thrusting the realm into uncertainty. Now, he must navigate the intricate politics of court, facing a relentless pursuit of power that culminates in a bloody duel for the crown itself. In a world where magic and intrigue collide, Gereinte undergoes a transformation from a rebellious prince to a true king, and we witness the journey of our young hero against the backdrop of a kingdom teetering on the edge of chaos.
