The Final War

The kingdom of Mikor has been at war with its neighbor, Colchara, for over forty years. Dahl Shelby is the king's nephew, but he has never lived the comfortable life of a prince. Born out of wedlock to the king's philandering brother, Dahl grew up despised by his uncle, who never made any secret of his distaste for his illegitimate nephew. Dahl has served at the front lines in the brutal war for eight years. But on a trip home one winter, Dahl meets Evan Tark, a handsome accountant only recently employed at the royal palace. Dahl falls deeply in love with the young man and his passion leads him to question the legitimacy of a war that has become a way of life. But his quest to bring an end to the conflict puts him in direct opposition to the king, who might be willing to kill to ensure that the war continues.
