Sequel to "The Thief and Prince"
Thomas has set off once again to go to war for Paevia, dragging Rory along with him. When they come across a monastery and find a few survivors--one being a quiet nun named Claire--he instantly gravitates towards her. Feeling as if there is no other choice, Thomas and his men bring the small group of vestals with them to their encampment.
With the weight of the possibility of becoming king soon, the pressure to find a wife, and of course a rising war, his plate is more than full-causing the temptation to follow in Crispin's footsteps to ditch his birthright more appealing by the day.
Read as faces both new and old appear in "The Nun and King" while Thomas discovers what it truly means to be a king.
