Kings Rising by C S Pacat

The epic conclusion to the worldwide phenomenon – from the boldly original author of Captive Prince and Prince’s Gambit.

‘A special, unforgettable series … Lush. Brutal. Unparalleled.’ – Sarah J. Maas

Damianos of Akielos has returned.
His identity now revealed, Damen must face his master, Prince Laurent, as Damianos of Akielos, the man Laurent has sworn to kill.

On the brink of a momentous battle, the future of both their countries hangs in the balance. In the south, Kastor’s forces are massing. In the north, the Regent’s armies are mobilising for war. Damen’s only hope of reclaiming his throne is to fight together with Laurent against their usurpers.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two princes journey deep into Akielos, where they face their most dangerous opposition yet. But even if the fragile trust they have built survives the revelation of Damen’s identity, can it stand against the Regent’s final, deadly play for the throne?

If you’re looking for an addictive slow-burn romantasy with great characterisation and world-building, the Captive Prince series is sure to be your new obsession.
