The King's Apprentice — Julius St. Clair

The King has chosen an apprentice to learn of his Dark Arts and one day take over the throne, but his newfound heir, unbeknownst to him, has an agenda of her own. Every day her power grows but so does the danger, for if the King should learn of her treachery, her family and loved ones will suffer in her stead.

Meanwhile, Milo begins his training with the Underground and his parents as the world begins to see the winds of change swirl around them. They know that war is upon them, but without the Sages or the Solons, who will save them now?

In The KING'S APPRENTICE, the world has changed drastically as Thorn begins the final touches on his master plan. And heroes, old and new, learn that no matter what they try, it won't be enough. In this game of cat and mouse, the young will tested and the heroic will fall before victory is long in sight. Full of breathtaking battles, lost friendship and the power of the human spirit, this is a coming of age story that stands among the best that the fantasy genre has to offer.
