Reign of the Eagle Series

The old king is dead, leaving 8-year-old Prince Edwin as his heir. Broderick Gramiren is the most popular man in Myrcia, and as the illegitimate son of a previous king, he has always felt the throne should be his. With only a weak boy in his way, Broderick has decided that his moment to rise has come. Yet not everyone in the kingdom is willing to allow Broderick to wrest the throne away from the legitimate successor. The boy king's sister Elwyn is thrust into a leading role in helping her brother keep his crown, working alongside a lovely spy from the world's most powerful empire. But will their best efforts be enough to overcome the talents of Broderick's most trusted henchman? Book 1 in the exciting new Reign of the Eagle series, Black Eagle Rising picks up where the Of Duty and Silver series leaves off, but can be enjoyed independently.

Can they finally stop Broderick?  Or will he crush them and finally put an end to the resistance? Find out in this exciting sequel to Black Eagle Rising!

Home from the army and bored with war, Andras Byrne just wants to enjoy himself. But his mother, the most powerful duchess in Myrcia, has finally lost patience with Broderick Gramiren, the usurper. In a desperate move, the duchess sends Andras to arrange a marriage alliance with Princess Elwyn Sigor, who wants nothing to do with Andras or his family. Princess Donella, daughter of Broderick, isn't about to let Andras get away that easily. Torn between the courtly romances of her imagination and her duty to her friend, Donella will have to decide just how far she is willing to go to stop Andras from marrying the wrong person. And she will discover what happens when a princess stops being a lady.

After two years in exile, Edwin and Elwyn Sigor are returning to Myrcia as part of an uneasy alliance with an old enemy.  Edwin's mother, the captive Queen Rohesia, has been doing what she can to support her son's claim to the throne in his absence.  As all three attempt to gather allies to overthrow the Gramiren usurper, none of them know just who they can trust. Will they be able to assemble a force to challenge the Gramiren armies, or will enemy agents stop their attempts before the fight can even begin?   Is a queen still a queen without a court?  Is a princess still a princess without her prince?  Is a king still a king if no one knows who he is?

In the midst of a bloody civil war, Sister Morwen just wants to focus on prayer and charity at her convent. Unfortunately, her mother, Duchess Flora Byrne, happens to be the most powerful woman in the country, and she's just switched sides in the war. As an enemy army threatens the convent, led by a brutal warrior who mocks everything Morwen believes in, young Edwin Sigor, the rightful king, struggles to hold together his fragile coalition with Duchess Flora. If only his wayward sister could be more help. And if only his uncle weren't such a terrible general.   Change is coming to Morwen and her little cloistered community, but old habits die hard.

After a failed invasion and a desperate flight for his life, Edwin Sigor, the rightful King of Myrcia, once again finds himself in exile. But all is not lost. A secret network of beautiful spies is working to gather information for him. And his supporters are hard at work to arrange marriage alliances that will split the enemy forces and pave the way for Edwin's return. If only his sister would just cooperate for once. Meanwhile, his great rival, the son of the usurper, finds himself at odds with his family as he fights to marry the woman he loves. And the usurper's wife, Queen Muriel, spins webs of deception and intrigue to preserve her power. Edwin could be on the verge of final victory, but it might cost him the most important person in his life.

Shifting alliances and passions will determine the future of the Kingdom of Myrcia, but in which direction? While kings and courtiers try to set up strategic marriages, others hope to marry for love, or not marry at all. And in the meantime, sorcerers and outside influences make their own attempts to determine the kingdom's next stage. The action picks up where the Of Duty and Silver series leaves off, although the six novels in the Reign of the Eagle series can be wholly enjoyed on their own.
