Knights Ransom by Jeff Wheeler

Author: Jeff Wheeler

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. A brutal war of succession has plunged the court of Kingfountain into a power struggle between a charitable king who took the crown unlawfully and his ambitious rival, Devon Argentine. The balance of power between the two men hinges on the fate of a young boy ensnared in this courtly intrigue. A boy befittingly nicknamed Ransom.

When the Argentine family finally rules, Ransom must make his own way in the world. Opportunities open and shut before him as he journeys along the path to knighthood, blind to a shadowy conspiracy of jealousy and revenge. Securing his place will not be easy, nor will winning the affection of Lady Claire de Murrow, a fiery young heiress from an unpredictably mad kingdom.

Ransom interrupts an abduction plot targeting the Queen of Ceredigion and earns a position in service to her son, the firstborn of the new Argentine dynasty. But conflict and treachery threaten the family, and Ransom must also come to understand and hone his burgeoning powers—abilities that involve more than his mastery with a blade and that make him as much a target as his lord.

Another lovely story Im a Wheeler fan and this one did not disappoint. The story of Ransom is one which tugs at the heart. I loved how he gradually discovered he was blessed.

So excited about this series I received an arc for this book and I am so glad I did. This is such an engaging story that I just flew through it, and then was sad it was over. I am anxiously awaiting more. I love this author because his content is always clean but NEVER boring. He portrays characters who are human and heroic. Virtues I want to emulate. This is a great beginning to what appears to be an amazing, and exciting tale. Very good!!!!
