King Takes
Rook
A Medieval Tale of Power and Betrayal
A kingdom built on love, and a king who trusted the wrong men.
King Erik, the Sixth of Haulder, spent years making his realm flourish. He knew every subject by name. Peace had been hard-won and carefully kept.
But peace has a price, and not everyone is willing to pay it honestly.
When the long-awaited union of two rival kingdoms finally arrives, what begins as a moment of triumph quickly unravels into something far darker. Alliances are not always what they appear, and the men closest to a king are sometimes the ones he should fear most.
King Takes Rook is a sweeping, richly imagined tale of power and betrayal, where the greatest threats don’t come from armies at the gate — but from the people seated beside you at the altar.
