The Emerald Prince

By: Kayci Morgan

Narrated by: K. E. Cooper

In a kingdom faced with civil war, an idealistic prince must abandon the foreign princess he desires for an arranged marriage to an influential knight. Together, the prince and knight travel north to deal with an army marching on the kingdom’s borders, only to discover the biggest threat to the crown is the princess they left behind.

Prince Elliot had everything - wealth, power, the love of a beautiful woman. It wasn’t enough. More than anything he wanted to prove himself worthy of his crown. When negotiations for his sister's arranged marriage to Sir Blaine fell apart, he was asked to take her place and marry the knight.

Sir Blaine was adored throughout the kingdom for his strategic mind and feats of bravery. He was rewarded with the greatest gift a king could offer a knight - the princess’s hand in marriage.

But Blaine found the brazen Prince Elliot far more enticing.

Elliot and Blaine

A decent action-adventure story. Elliot and Blaine have a bit of a rough start. Blaine is truly a good guy and falls quickly for Elliot. It takes Elliot a bit longer. I liked that when faced with moral issues Elliot always stands firmly on the side of honor. There is evil to thwart, a princess to rescue and spells to undo to get both heroes to their happy ending.

Audiobook: good narration

This was a great book and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is my first book by this author, but it definitely won't be the last. I loved the court intrigue and the unique situations that occurred. I do not like spoilers, so this will be somewhat vague. Elliot is the crown prince and his sister is preparing to marry Sir Blaine. Blaine's family held the crown before Elliot's family numerous years ago. He is not pleased about the pending nuptials arranged by his father. When they arrive at the palace, Blaine is fascinated by the Prince. The arrangements are altered for Sir Blaine to marry Elliot. Elliot is not happy at all. So many things are just wrong in the castle and decisions that are entirely out of character for the King and Sir Blaine's father. There is a murder attempt, magical persuasion and true love. I enjoyed this book and would like to hear more about Elliot and Blaine in their new relationship.
