Wedding of the Torn Rose

Saving the princess was only the start of events that would change his life forever...

Kaine was down on his luck. The former merchant struggled with losing his job and now must make ends meet. Too bad he doesn't know how. Frustrated, he sets off into the nearby forest to gather mushrooms. The woman's screams were the last thing he expected. Kaine must act quickly to rescue the young woman before a monster that should not exist kills her.

His life only gets crazier from there. Kaine returns with Lydia, the daughter of the king, to her father's castle where he unexpectedly finds himself in the king's good graces. Confused and leery, Kaine reluctantly agrees to remain and help with Lydia's younger siblings. Life could not have thrown him more.

Kaine is plunged into a world of magical intrigue, unrest, and political maneuvering. Each new event leaves him feeling out of place and, worse, dangerously exposed to a growing threat. The Darian Kingdom stands at the crossroads. Lydia's upcoming wedding to the prince of the Throatian Kingdom will soon become the defining moment in Kaine's life.

With the threat of war looming on the horizon, it is going to take every ounce of guile, cunning, and willpower for Kaine to survive, and, if he is fortunate, prevent the fast approaching storm from burning his world to the ground.

Wedding of the Torn Rose is a fast-paced fantasy adventure with mystery, action, and magic. Journey with Kaine as he attempts to prevent a war and save a kingdom in the first volume of the Symphony of Crowns and Gods series.
