The Disinherited Prince

The Disinherited Prince seriesbook 1 of 2Next:The Monk's Habit →

Pol Fairfield is fourteen and a prince, yet he has little interest in ever wearing a crown. His health has been frail for as long as he can remember, and he is convinced he will not survive long enough to inherit anything. Then his father, the monarch of North Salvan, makes a decision that changes everything. The kingdom where Pol's mother holds her claim is to pass to his eldest brother, even though Pol, as her only child, stands directly behind that heir in the line of succession.

Around the same time, Pol discovers that he has a gift for magic. In a court where his siblings have grown openly hostile, such a gift may prove more dangerous than useful. He must learn to stay alive among the very family members who now see him as a rival, and every step forward could be his last.
