The Ruin of Kings
Synopsis
Kihrin, a bastard orphan, discovers he is the long-lost son of a treasonous prince. His new life is far from the storybook adventures he imagined, filled with his family's dangerous power plays. He quickly learns that everything he thought he knew about heroes, dragons, and destiny might be a lie. Kihrin must navigate a world where he might not be the hero, and saving the empire is far from guaranteed.
