King's Conquest (The Crown of Estoir)

The empire of Estoir is ruled by an ancient but powerful Faelon family who had won the allegiance of other kingdoms through war and bloodshed. Hence, The Greater Estoir was born. There was once a rebellion by the King of Arlington some hundred years ago. As punishment, the royal family of Arlington was decimated, but the heir was spared. His only salvation was to serve as a Commander of The Greater Estoir, in service to the House of Faelon-atonement for the betrayal and a lesson to all others.

Lately, there has been an uprising in the northern regions. Murmurings are rife of troubled times ahead. In the midst of all this, Lady Arianna Harrowton finds herself in the court of Estoir. One fateful day, she crosses path with Ethan, the crown prince of Arlington. The encounter tangles her in intrigue that changes everything she had ever known.

Ethan's duty as the formidable Commander of the Royal Guard kept him grounded. His forefathers had done it before him as a penance of the bygone past. But a dark-haired noblewoman sets him onto a path that leaves him fighting for his country and honour. His destiny calls out to him. It's a dangerous conquest. Would history repeat itself, or this time, would the victory be his? If so, then at what cost?
