The Movement of Kings - Nadine C. Keels - Bog

Movement of Crowns, Book Three: the chronicle of an untried ruler

The nation might have longed for his coming rule, but will they now regret it?
The charge of the Eubeltic Realm has been passed over to a young monarch known for his brilliance and brooding ways-as well as the "way" he has with vibrant ladies at court. Yet, from a political and cultural standpoint, the Realm has entered uncertain times.

Their inexperienced king is faced with the nation's domestic and colonial crises, the bereavement of his family, and his curious attraction to a councilman's modest daughter. Could everything in the king's untried hands be on the verge of falling apart?

While this historical fantasy book does not have magical elements, the story is set in a completely fictional world.
