Prince and Prince's Gambit. His identity now revealed Damen must face his master Prince
Laurent as Damianos of Akielos the man Laurent has sworn to kill. On the brink of a momentous
battle the future of both their countries hangs in the balance. In the south Kastor's forces
are massing. In the north the Regent's armies are mobilising for war. Damen's only hope of
reclaiming his throne is to fight together with Laurent against their usurpers. Forced into an
uneasy alliance the two princes journey deep into Akielos where they face their most dangerous
opposition yet. But even if the fragile trust they have built survives the revelation of
Damen's identity-can it stand against the Regents final deadly play for the throne?
