Oldest Kin: Book One: the Realm

By Hope Elizabeth Rodriguez

Aaron and Jacob - young Knights of The Realm - and their countrymen are engaged in a courageous fight against their ancient enemy: the soldiers and magicians of the Human Kind led by the Mad Emperor, Prince Henry. Aaron and Jacob - like all of the inhabitants of The Realm - possess the ability to morph into animal forms, giving them special powers. These young soldiers need all of the skills and cunning they can muster to combat their powerful foe and the forces of magic and evil. Oldest Kin: Book One - The Realm chronicles the chivalrous and romantic adventures of these brave young Knights.
