Born to Rule: Rise of a Second Son

The Second Son Saga, Book 1

De: Shane Hammond

Narrado por: Raya Kane, Richard Brock

The Heir and the Spare.

I wasn’t born to rule. I’m the king’s second son, the spare that won’t inherit any real power. Despite my fate, I’ve always felt like I was destined for more.

When a surprise journey to the elvish kingdom of Hamelin puts me in the crosshairs of scheming nobles, magical talismans, brutal orc hybrids, and ruthless brigands, I finally have the chance to prove myself.

I won’t be facing it alone. With Fiona, my fierce yet adorably clumsy childhood friend, and Scarlett, my dangerously beautiful maid, I’ll show them all why a second son deserves to be feared.

Because the power I’m building won’t just change me. It will change the world.

Oh no! Not a cliffhanger

I really like this story and I’m looking forward to the rest of the books in the series. Really didn’t like that he edited on a cliffhanger. But it makes me want to get a hold of him faster. I would definitely recommend checking this series out hopefully audio for book 2 will come out shortly.
