When I am King... this book will be required reading. Until then, consider it important background reading on future social policy. And an excellent beer coaster. With life comes life's many critical problems, such as: Why are wedding ceremonies so very long, often outlasting the marriages themselves? Why are we forced to celebrate wedding anniversaries, inevitably leading to stress, forgetfullness, guilt, anger, recriminations, and alimony? We're constantly making mistakes in life and have no one to blame but ourselves. Why can't we hire someone to take the blame? Why are women's showers so packed with bottles and substances that there's no room left for the people? Why aren't newborn babies clearly labeled with their sex to avoid awkward assumptions by strangers? Why are newborn stats reported in weight and length, like fish? Fortunately, this manifesto exists to deal with these and other pressing problems that we all face in work, relationships, parenting, eating, and life overall.

Ten-year-old Prince Beaumont has lived a peaceful and secluded life, hidden from his enemies in Mount Hope, waiting for the day he can safely return to the Middle Islands and reclaim his father's crown.

Enlisting the help of the New Brotherhood guild, she is granted an escort and protector, Gavin, a cynical war veteran, to aide her in her quest. Meanwhile, the usurper's assassin, Royce, has also arrived in Hattan, hot on Nisila's trail. Once a member of the rebel faction, Royce was forced to change his allegiance when his family was captured by the new King Rancine. With his family held under threat of execution, Royce has no choice but to capture the prince at all cost - or risk losing everyone he loves.

As the last Falcone, King is the heir-apparent to his grandfather's throne. Except there is one problem. A big one. He is a "difetto," not of pure Sicilian blood. As a result, he has been ostracized by much of the Syndicate.

Even with the odds stacked against him, he rises through the Syndicate ranks.

Smitten, he decides he must have her as his own. Unfortunately, his arch nemesis--his nefarious cousin Anthony--has already laid claim to her. A war for her affection ensues. When the smoke clears, King is left serving a life sentence in a Federal prison, while Anthony is elevated to Syndicate underboss, ranked second only to his father, the Syndicate's new "Capo di tutti Capi," Boss of all Bosses.But Don Falcone is a crafty tactician himself. He has kept a favor on the books for over fifty years, and when he finally calls it in, King emerges from prison a free man. Read on and see what it takes... TO BE A KING!

In his "utterly fascinating" (Book Smuggler) debut, The Adamantine Palace, Stephen Deas "restored [dragons] to all their scaly fire- breathing glory" (Daily Telegraph). Now, as the Realms teeter on the brink of war, the fate of humanity rests in the survival of one majestic white dragon. Prince Jehal has had his way-now his lover Zafir sits atop the Realms with hundreds of dragons and their riders at her beck and call. But Jehal's plots are far from over, for he isn't content to sit back and watch Zafir command the earth and sky. He wants that glory for himself- no matter who he must sacrifice to get it. The one thing Jehal fears is that the white dragon still lives-and if that is so, then blood will flow, on all sides...
