Received this from Net Gallery! At first I was confused on what was going on but it's a family who has just lost their King and the family members need to figure out where they are to serve the new king,what their role will be! As in all families tension who to trust in their different roles. Very exciting characters to say the least and a very good read! You won't be disappointed!!

The early Renaissance adventures of Albert continue in Volume 2 of Pamela Taylor’s Second Son Chronicles. The popular young nobleman has returned home, having escaped months of torment by Ralf, a kidnapper out to settle an old score. When his grandfather, the king, dies, the throne goes to Albert’s headstrong Uncle Harold. The new king is killed while on a risky mission, leaving the future of the kingdom’s leadership in doubt. Causing trouble as always is Albert’s arrogant older brother John, who is expelled from the knighthood for insubordination. The tension mounts as the villainous Ralf strikes again, endangering not just Albert this time but his father, the king.

Sublime Line: “An absolutely sensational renaissance novel filled with dry humor, heartfelt moments, and exceptional characters.”
