The King’s Trial
Two princes. Two paths. One revolution that will test everything they believe about their enemies—and themselves.
Yosyph poses as a mute servant, gathering secrets about the queen who oppresses his people. When he discovers her plot to enslave thousands, he knows rebellion without allies would be suicide. His only hope lies in following a deadly path—one that could cost him everything.
Halavant was raised as a prince, but when he leaves his privileges behind to find his missing betrothed, he discovers something far more dangerous: the truth about his kingdom.
As rebellion ignites, these two men find themselves on a collision course—navigating betrayal, battle, and an unexpected bond that could determine the fate of the realm. They soon discover that removing a tyrant isn’t enough—they must heal what’s broken, or the cycle begins again.

“Enchanting, fast-moving fantasy. Fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings will find much to enjoy here… A fresh and original tale saturated in courage, sacrifice, love, loyalty, and loss, this expertly crafted story reels you in from chapter one and doesn’t let go until the very end.” — Pages and Paws
“A quest for honor and justice across some of the most striking literary landscape for two young men that might have more in common than what their prejudices and pride would let them think.” — A Motus (Amazon France)
The King’s Shadow
Halavant overthrew a tyrant, but his kingdom is starving, his nobles are scheming, and the illness killing his closest friend will eventually kill him too. He faces an impossible choice: stay and rule a fracturing kingdom, or venture into enemy territory to find the cure that could save them both.
Yosyph’s shadow-walking made him the perfect spy—invisible, invaluable, untouchable. Now it’s destroying him. When Halavant departs, Yosyph must step out of the shadows and rule as regent. To survive, he’ll need to trust others to see what he cannot, and build a government that doesn’t depend on one indispensable person—even him.
Katrin refuses to stand by while the people she loves tear themselves apart. When Yosyph can no longer move through shadows, she learns to do it for him—hunting traitors while playing the perfect, harmless fool. Even if it means becoming as dangerous as the enemies closing in.
Three impossible tasks. Halavant must find a cure among bloodthirsty enemies. Yosyph must lead a splintering kingdom while rebellion brews unseen. Katrin must unmask the traitors before they strike.
But even if they succeed, the hardest truth remains: tearing down a tyrant is easy. Building something better will change them forever.
The thrilling conclusion to The King’s Trial duology.
Perfect for fans of Megan Whalen Turner, Robin Hobb, and Brandon Sanderson.

“This book has some of the most well developed and fleshed out characters I’ve ever read. They each have trials. They each have pitfalls. They each struggle and fail. They made me snort-laugh… This is a clean, beautiful read for all ages… stories of light and hope, trial and pain, action adventure, and the fleshed out characters who I wish I could meet.” – Georgia (Amazon review)
