Prologue
He had known little else, all his
life. From his earliest memories,
seeing himself as a young boy,
maybe still a toddler, he had been
trained to fight. As if he had come
out of his royal motherโs womb a
warrior, born to fight.
No privileges of rank. Taking the
rough with the smooth, taking the
hardest of blows in readiness for his
life. Royal prince, heir apparent.
In turbulent times.
