The Jackal of Nar Book One of Tyrants and Kings
To his enemies he is known simply as 'the Jackal', a fearsome warrior in the battle for the frozen borderland of Lucel-Lor. They taunt him with the name as they come sweeping out of the woods to fall yet again on the battered ranks of the soldiers of Nar.
But Prince Richius is a reluctant hero in a war he doesn't believe in, fought for an Emperor he doesn't trust. And when he falls in love with a woman of Lucel-Lor, the Jackal' is torn between his kingdom, his loyalty and his heart.
No matter what he chooses, the result will be at best bloodshed and shame, at worst the deaths of everyone he holds dear. Yet as the Emperor and the enemy are about to discover, there is nothing so dangerous as a desperate man …
