Avim's Oath

The Queen is dead. Two princes are suddenly thrust center-stage to vie for a throne neither really wants, orchestrated by the ambitions of power-hungry princesses. Amel, the elder, would prefer a quiet life—but is being pressured into the pursuit of power by the alarmingly beautiful princess Alivda. Erien, the younger, wants to start an academy of science on their planet—but is being pursued by the leige Vretla, who intends to bear the prince's child. Trapped in a tangle of torment, the two brothers must prove themselves, choosing between lives they desire, and the roles for which they are demanded.
