    About this ebook

    Mysterious Brigands from the North assault King Lionel's land. To deal with the scourge the king send's his only son, Prince Erich to rid the city of them. Among the ravaged city, the prince rescues a young man who has fallen victim to the violent raids.

    Prince Erich takes the young Devlin under his wing and soon falls hard for the mysterious stranger with pale blond hair and alabaster skin. Everyone in the kingdom is swooning over Devlin except the prince's loyal squire, Luke.

    Luke knows something isn't right. He feels it deep down in his soul. He doesn't trust Devlin, especially with the man he loves... Prince Erich. Luke will not allow any harm to come to Erich, but no one believes him, no believes that evil has come to nest right under their roof. Can Luke convince the bravest knights of the kingdom to help him before it's too late?

    The Prince's Consort is a short story and part one of a two part story.

      The Prince's Consort

      Erich’s father summoned him to his chambers in the middle of the night. Among the company of the royal guards, the prince made his way down the cold halls of Dunlop Castle. He pushed open the door to his father’s room and stepped in, the guards flanking him.

      The room was illuminated by the dimmest candlelight. The bed in the center of the room was disheveled. A figure stirred in a chair at the corner of the room.

      Leave us, King Lionel said softly.

      The guards vacated the chambers, leaving Erich standing alone before his father.

      Father, you sent for me?

      Brigands. King Lionel uttered the word. I grow weary of them—these barbaric wretches from the lands of the North. For each town or village they sack they grow closer to the capital city, they grow closer to me. I’ve received word that they are spreading through the city of Tamor like a disease. I need you to ride out to them and put the fear of my name in them. It is time they were shown what it means to cross me. I trust you can do this, my warrior prince. You have shown me your victories in battle, your conquering of the Umani tribes, your defense of the Red Church and your campaigns against the Green Men—all valiant efforts. This should come as little challenge for you, my son.

      Erich got down on one knee and bowed to his father. I will wipe these vermin from our lands, father.

      Take as many of the Royal Guard as you need.

      I will hand pick them myself and leave at dawn.

      You will leave now.

      Father?

      These swine attack by night. If you wait until morning they will be long gone and the city ravaged. You must meet them now while they do not expect it. Now go.

      Prince Erich nodded his head, stood and left the room. He entered the halls where the guards escorted him back to his chambers.

      Inside his room he noticed the candles were all lit. He looked to his right to see his squire sitting in the chair at his desk.

      Is there trouble, sire?

      "Luke, call me Erich. I do
