The Truant Prince

Eight years ago, Prince Ett left his country, trying to escape the responsibilities of being the crown prince of Anashan. Now his sister has found him, and convinced him to return to Anashan "for a visit". When they return, Ett finds Anashan crumbling. Their enemies, the Xolifar, are flooding in from the west and disunity in the Drosires is pulling it apart from the inside. With time running out for the Anashan, Ett must choose between the life he yearns for and the life he was destined for.
