A Crown of Thorns (The Heir, Book 2)

Set two weeks after his capture, Vincent Stronghold barely has any chance left of escaping the clutches of his captors: the rebels, who terrorized the Palace, and their leader, Prince Jason Graystone. Fighting what he can for his escape, Vincent gets tangled up in a web of conspiracy and politics that he never knew was happening in Allyria, and the deeper he explore, the less he wants to ascend the throne.

Meanwhile at the Palace, the Queen--with the help of Prince Octavian and their close ties--continues the search for her missing grandson, and repeatedly ends up in a maze of clues that doesn't help locating the lost Prince. With Octavian by her side, he will stop at nothing to get his Prince back. With perseverance and love influencing his efforts to find Vincent, he will soon come across a foe he never saw coming. And it may become a life and death situation for Vincent if Octavian and the royals of Allyria don't play their cards right.
