The queen of Verdaria scans her surroundings, her eyes trained on every slight movement. Loud footsteps approach, accompanied by the clinking of metal armor. The royal woman seeks solace amongst the shadows of a dim alley, pulling the arm of her young son as they dash to safety. Sweat drips from her brow, in but a moment, they could be taken, snatched from freedom, and taken to the very man who wed her, the mad king, Rillard. However, the grace of God smiled upon her, the armed soldiers passing by without the faintest clue. Only a few more steps, and they would escape the city. The queen looked down at the young prince, only a mere four years of age. Perhaps one day they could return, one day he would rise after the deserved death of the ruthless king. On that day, the noblewoman dreamt, Verdaria would rejoice and praise the name of their new king, shouting, "Long live King Godwig!" From the Historical Fantasy series, Lords of War, Godwig takes a look at the life of a humble yet fearful childhood, to the thrilling intensity of a regal king at war for his kingdom's survival. This book asks the question: Can one humble prince save the soul of a kingdom born from cruelty? Note: This version is an alpha version of the book. Expect errors and future changes as it's raw, unpolished. That being said, I would love some feedback and help to make it a better book in the future.

Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023
