The new king of the Bonnie Isles has worn his crown for nearly four years, and he hasn't gotten much done. He wants to be a great ruler, but instead of moving forward, he's stumbled into a hole of setbacks. First, he has been unable to complete repairs on the city, needed after the witch's rampage. Second, he hasn't been able to settle on a queen who meets his exacting requirements. Is he just a bad king, or has he been led astray by conniving ministers and his own petty desires? Ruth is a jester on a mission. Her unique abilities to harness the magic in the Ley has allowed her to become the best juggler, tumbler, and jokester in the Bonnie Isles. Her ability to read a crowd has made her invaluable to someone who has a score to settle with the inept king. As she infiltrates the king's company, she finds the man who wears the crown may be more than anyone has guessed, including the king himself. Can she go through with her mission to put another man on the throne? Should Monarchs Stumble is Book 3 in the Bonnie Isles Trilogy. It is a complete story arc, but deeply enmeshed in the trilogy's overall storyline. Readers are encouraged to read all three books in order, for the best entertainment value. Spoiler warning! If you haven't yet read all of To Make a King, reading this will partially spoil the ending for you. Several chapters of the other two books can be found here on Wattpad, and links to the complete books can be found on the author's website: www.kristicramerbooks.com
