A Prince of the Blood (Unabridged‪)‬

A king inclined contrary to nature...

A foreign-born queen confined to the palace...

A kingdom desperately needing an heir...

Two courtiers ask Keladon, retired battlemage and the king's bastard half brother, to impregnate the queen. His sense of duty to the kingdom sends him to her bedchamber. But he must do far more to stop a conspiracy of magic and murder threatening the kingdom's survival - and the woman he comes to love.
