The Bastard Prince: a strange young man with unique gifts struggles to be a hero (Blue Moon Rising Book 3)

What to do with K'kadi Amund, the youngest of four royal children—the one who doesn't talk? The young man of almost twenty-one who can still lose himself in moments of beauty, or moments of disaster. "Unreliable" and "weird" are some of the kinder things said about him. So why does S'sorrokan, leader of the rebellion against the Regulon Empire, consider him one of his most vital assets? But even when K'kadi comes into his own and gets what was once his greatest desire, he discovers that growing up comes with a price.

Author's Note: The four books of the Blue Moon Rising series are a classic tale of rebellion against an evil Empire. But in addition to the usual variety of strong male characters—friend and foe—the stories feature multiple romances, brave and powerful female characters, and frequent female point of view. If you want romance (but not hot sex) with your adventure, these are the books for you. If you want only male derring-do and emotions turn you green, probably not.
