“Gather the royal children,” the Queen Dowager said. “For their safety.”
By morning, every heir of the royal house is dead — except one. Hidden under soiled linen in a laundry basket, carried out through the gate the palace uses for what it would rather not be seen, a three-month-old prince leaves Sogwang Palace alive.
For six years the High Priest raises him inside the temple walls as a nameless orphan, buying loyal officers one debt at a time while a foreign-born queen rules the kingdom of Harun with salt, silver and fear. Then, on a feast day, a seven-year-old boy places his hand on the Covenant Stone and the Palace Guard turns.
What follows is a golden decade: the temple rebuilt, the borders quiet, a young king his people adore.
And then the man who saved him dies, the exiled lords come home with honey in their mouths, and the kingdom discovers what a rescued king does with mercy when no one is left to remind him where he came from.
The Hidden Heir is the first novel in The Crown and the Covenant, a series of standalone palace dramas set in the invented kingdom of Harun.
For readers of court intrigue, historical drama and stories of power, betrayal and the long price of forgetting.
