4-6Ascendance series.
As the trilogy (The False Prince; The Runaway King) draws to its close, King Jaron finds his country, Carthya, at war. Overmatched, he is forced to outfox his enemies, devising plans and schemes for his cadre of allies. There's enough adventure, mystery, and romance in this concluding volume to please a variety of genre readers.
