    "You're playing a dangerous game and you don't know how dangerous." - Kereth, The Last Heir 
    The Last Heir is a great read! The last hope of the Empire is only 7 years old and too young to rule. Who will run the Empire until the emperor is ready? Should there be a regent? Could you trust him to step aside when the emperor is of age?
    What becomes of marriages and children in desperate times? Would you commit to a marriage of convenience to save the Empire? Can you trust your friends and family? What will happen if you don't? You'll love the suspense, moving scenes, and engaging characters. And there's no coarse language, no graphic violence, and no sexual immorality - so everyone will be able to enjoy it. I hope you'll enjoy The Last Heir as much as we do.

    An empire among the stars, a child heir, an empty throne...
    Everyone has his own motives. Everyone has his own desires.
    "I feel about the emperorships the way a husband feels about the wife he loves."
    "I desire that high seat. Do you condemn me?"
    "My loyalty is mine to give; I will give it as I see fit."
    It has begun.
    Only time will tell how it will end.
