A covert mission. A royal power struggle. A father who may never meet his child.The 14th century. Lord Alfred, grandson to the king but far from the throne, has always lived at the margins of power. A scholar by nature, a loyal son by duty, he is content with a quiet life of service. But when the king entrusts him with a covert mission to protect the royal succession, Alfred is drawn into dangerous currents he cannot control.The mission unravels. Captured and carried across hostile territory, he is tormented by visions of never meeting his unborn child. Ransom is uncertain. Rescue is unlikely. Time is his cruelest enemy. As each day carries him farther from home, he must face a grim truth: even royal blood can be expendable.To survive, he must reach deep within himself to find a resolve he never knew he had and the courage to outwit, outlast - even outfight - those who would use him as a pawn in their games of revenge and retribution.Second Son is a gripping medieval tale of loyalty, captivity, and quiet courage. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Ken Follett, and readers who value rich detail and character-driven historical drama.Buy now and step into a world where bloodlines decide power - and survival demands courage.
