The King's Trial - Signed Paperback (The King Trials book 1)

2019 Whitney Awards Nominee

By day Yosyph appears nothing more than a mute tavern-hand. By night he plans a revolution and slips through shadow, rescuing those marked for death by the xenophobic queen.

When he learns that thousands of his people will be sent as slaves to the mines, he must choose—fight the royal army with an ill-prepared rebellion or journey to the land of his ancestors through the deadly King’s Trial. If he succeeds, he’ll win his kin’s loyalty and their help.

His journey grows complicated when he rescues a maiden and enrages a prince, but if he doesn’t return with help in time, the people he’s loved and secretly served will be gone.

"The writing style is smart and engaging. Brave young men, vivacious heroine. Vibrant world, exciting stakes... I'd recommend to fans of Blades of Acktar, The Queen's Thief, and The Minstrel's Song!" - H.S.J. Williams, author of Fairest Son
