The Eunuch's Heir

THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM DUTY . . . AND DESTINY

The courage of Kattanan duRhys saved a kingdom and created a legend perhaps impossible to equal. Now his son, Wolfram duRhys, wild prince of the realm, spends his days wenching, carousing, and shunning the legacy of his revered father. But Wolfram's revelries end when his carefree existence is shattered by an assassination attempt--and he discovers the lie he's been living . . . and the dark destiny that awaits.

Now the wayward son must flee to a distant land of magic and mystery--to enflame the love of a cloistered virgin, and the ire of a priestess who plans a bloody revenge. And suddenly the fate of an imperiled land rests with a reluctant prince who once lived for pleasure alone . . . and whose actions will either save his world or leave it smoldering in ruins.
