The Last King of the Mountain: Book One of The True Queen of the Lathai - Paperback

by Camryn Daytona (Author)

A throne won in blood will soon be drenched in it. A monarch who rules through intimidation will fear as much as they are feared.

Ever since her mother Queen Aramaris was killed by the Malda, Ariawyn has been raised to be the next Queen Of Lathai. But she feels unprepared for her role, and, to buy time before her coronation, she flees her kingdom, joining a group of wandering dwarves and returning to their homeland of Fighgaruhm.

All is not well, however, in Fighgaruhm, and as tensions rise, the dwarves' newly democratic government is threatened by those who still remain loyal to the Disposed King.

Back in Lathai, Rune journeys to the capital city for the first time, where he quickly develops a friendship with the Regent Prince Luthitan and his niece, Naemyra. His loyalties will be tested, between his childhood friend Ariawyn, and the regent who seems to be a far better fit for the throne.

As Ariawyn finds herself embroiled in the politics of the dwarves, those she left behind grapple with a kingdom that has lost its heir, an over-ambitious regent, and unwelcome tidings from the Northern Isles.

With a cast of eclectic characters - including talking lizards, mischievous gods, and the ever troublesome Malda - The Last King of the Mountain is the first in an exciting new fantasy series, perfect for fans of The Lord of the Rings, Throne of Glass, and The Cruel Prince.
