Becoming King

by

Josephine Carnes

Norden grew up being privleged. As a lord's son, he had access to the best tutors and trainers a lord of Yuiba could afford. But all he dreamed of was becoming a knight like Alphonse the Bear.

His dream comes true, but as he enters into the service of the king, he realizes that the kingdom he has been sheltered from is one of hurting people and a cruel, wicked king. The stakes are high as he cannot betray his vow as a knight, but the king is only interested in wealth and power. He is torn between his vows and protecting the people.

When the time comes for him to decide his path, what will he choose?
