Hi! I'm C.L. Mozena! I've had great fun writing over the past few years. It started in grade school with short poems and grew from there. My first real novel sucked rocks, but I didn't let it get me down! I turned around and wrote another one. During those times I wanted to throw my computer out the window, I cooled off with flash fiction. I've even had some of those super short stories published in the Jeff. For everyone outside Cambridge, Ohio, that's what we call the Jeffersonian, the biggest newspaper in the area. Check out my website, CLMozena.weebly.com, for other books by me, and even some free short stories! Happy reading!

Part I

Betrayal

1It wasn't fair. The crown was Devon's birthright, not Mark's. So how come his little brother was going to be king? Devon paced back and forth on the third floor balcony overlooking the great hall. Servants below decorated for the coronation tomorrow. Mark's coronation. It should be Devon's.

What was Mom thinking? Mark was three years younger than Devon. Still a boy. And he acted like it, too. He was more concerned with playing some sport or other with his friends than studying. Devon, on the other hand, studied day and night. He knew how the kingdom operated and who was who in the upper class. Mark couldn't care less. But Mom said Mark had 'leadership qualities' that Devon didn't possess. Whatever that meant.

It means that she doesn't have a real answer, Dad
