When he was nine, he watched as his mother and brother were killed before him. At thirteen, he led a band of bloodthirsty thugs. By fifteen, he intends to be king…
It’s time for Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath to return to the castle he turned his back on, to take what’s rightfully his. Since the day he hung pinned on the thorns of a briar patch and watched Count Renar’s men slaughter his mother and young brother, Jorg has been driven to vent his rage. Life and death are no more than a game to him—and he has nothing left to lose. But treachery awaits him in his father’s castle. Treachery and dark magic. No matter how fierce his will, can one young man conquer enemies with power beyond his imagining? - from Amazon.com
I can't believe I have waited this long to read this book. When I found out this was going to be, at minimum, a trilogy, I had set it aside as I didn't want to be kept waiting for the next book(s) to be released. I held on even as the second book became available. Finally, I could wait no longer, and I sort of kick myself. I totally enjoyed this read! Lawrence has a bit of a darkness inside to create a story about a revengeful 9-year-old coming to age in a bloody and murderous rampage. One of those "I wish I could have done that when I was pissed" kind of stories. I read through this book in just a matter of hours, as I had a hard time putting it down. Needless to say, I have started the next book in the series, KING OF THORNS, and expect to have it completed soon.
