“A king
cannot serve his people if he does not first know what it is like to
be helpless. He cannot help those in servitude if he first does not
know what it is like to be forced to obey. He cannot wield his power
wisely if he does not first know what it is like to have power
wielded upon him. If a prince never experiences these things, he
will not be a good king.”
These words, spoken from
guard to prince in the dark of the night, mark the changing point in
Jared si’Hyden’s life. His exile in the sheltered halls of the
All-God's temple has come to an end. With the death of his elder
brother he suddenly finds himself prince heir, a title he is ill
prepared to live up to. He unexpectedly finds guidance in the form
of nine men who offer to help him . . . for a price.
