Warrior and King — Michael O'Gara

The rebellion of several nobles is afoot and the king is preparing to use his son Prince Crispin to counter the threat. Most believe the well planned deception that Crispin is a dandy prince with no substance and that may just work to the king's advantage. Crispin must go into a viper's den to make his father's plan work and the advantage he has is that the enemy does not know his true abilities or the worthiness of the soldiers with him. In spite of initial success, the threats multiply and Crispin is drawn further into conflict, intrigue, danger, and war. Crispin will face rebellion, treachery, and invasion before he can bring peace and prosperity to the realm he will rule.
