After the tragic death of his father and his brother - the heir to the throne - the youngest son of the Qitumal family is forced to take over the reins in a country seething with rivals lusting after the power thrust upon the young king.
To strengthen his position and re-affirm his family's alliance with the strongest of the governors of Cremoria's many counties, the newly crowned king decided to honour his father and brother's promise of marrying one of the seven daughters of Gorwin Brykalyn, the governor of Vreviborg.
His choice of bride leaves everyone perplexed. Some are delighted by it, while others are enraged. Headstrong and righteous, with lofty ideals of a country where the citizens flourish, the young king has little time for caring about unsolicited opinions and advice from those pushing their own agendas.
Will his choices in wife and action prove to be exactly what's required to become a strong and good king, or is it all sheer folly that will lead to a short-lived rein?

Princess in Trouble (complete)
There is not just one princess in trouble in this Novella, but two. Both are in need of protection and only one can do the protecting. When Vondra meets the recently widowed Prince Sharzor, she finds herself disliking him and when they are together, she despises him all the more. For some reason, he seems to hate her and does his best to keep putting her in her 'place', believing she is either a servant or a crafty female criminal. But deeper emotions are at play in both of them and soon they will surface... This is to be a 'Novella', written for Wattpad's 2021 Open Novella Contest and is about the seventeen-year-old princess, Vondra, who appears like an upper-class servant, certainly not a royally titled young woman. She is on the run and has no idea where she is or where she is going. She whispers, "I'm in heap of trouble and there is no way on this earth that I will go back. I don't fully believe in God, but as a last resort before I find a high cliff to throw myself off, I will pray and ask for help to become the woman my grandfather taught me to be."- He had told her, 'You're a weapon and weapons don't weep.' At the same time she wished to fulfill her Grandmother's prayers that she would 'be a woman of great wisdom, care, love, faith, hope and peace. I have placed this novella in the category 'Romance' as there was no category for 'Action-Romance' - the main romance doesn't happen right way because of the prince's loss and princess being in such trouble, she can only think of herself, of escaping and finding a normal life away from the restrictions of royalty. When the romance begins in earnest, it is intense. Enjoy.Complete
