About the Book
Fate has a chosen one… but who is he?
The High King of Mirdon is dead. The last gambit of Oren Trevaine has given him an army that will kill him as readily as the enemy he marches against, and trusting the prophecy he hates might be the only way to survive the war.
But when he returns to Westmere to reclaim his beleaguered throne, Oren discovers that survival isn't enough. The prophecy unveils another verse, and with it, the people of his kingdom rush down a twisted path that threatens to cover the land in a blanket of blood.
From the fires of the last battle, the one true king must emerge to lead his people to an age of peace and prosperity. As the ashes settle, Oren must decide whether he can bend to the designs of fate… or forever break its shackles.
If you like the grit of Glen Cook's The Black Company and the action of Brian McClellan's The Powder Mage Trilogy, Ruler of Kings will be your next favorite read.
