The Drauso Chronicles: the Wildemen Conspiracy 1st edition

"In this Medieval Fantasy, our heroine flees her collapsing kingdom in search of aid. During this perilous trek, she encounters assassins and lurid creatures." Old King Gondemar of Aquileia has always known that his brother?s wife, the Grand Duchess Adelaide, was a ruthless, ambitious woman. She had raised her son, Quarles, with the erroneous attitude that the throne of Aquileia should have been his and he chafed at the injustice. In the past, Adelaide had made attempts to overthrow the king, but to no avail. Once again, the Grand Duchess and her son began brewing a darker plan, quietly ushering in Wildemen and mercenaries. The king had been keeping a watchful eye on the pair; of late, disquieting rumors came to Gondemar?s ears that armies were amassing in Etham. Aware that he was aging and his beloved daughter, Princess Alianor, was yet unmarried, Gondemar encouraged her to seek out a suitable husband. To his approval, Alianor chose the quiet, young king, William of Coramer, of whom the old king had been mentoring for the past two years. Gondemar decided to announce their betrothal at the Michaelmas Tournament. The first day of the tourney had dawned so fair, little could any foresee the dark consequences that soon would plunge the kingdom into chaos.
