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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRansom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 47north\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781542025294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432","brand":"Jeff Wheeler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38028079562933,"sku":"9781542025294","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8fd4d419-84ba-4c47-9951-7b575314dc6b.jpg?v=1609194490","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/knights-ransom-9781542025294","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
