Not all wars are won on the battlefield! Even as a young child, Anna fought against injustice. Now, with the crown firmly in her grasp, she need only win over the Nobles Council to usher in an age of enlightenment. However, in a court full of people vying for power and influence, she quickly learns that seizing a crown and holding on to it are two completely different things. It takes the resurfacing of past crimes to put her new laws to the test, paving the way for a bright new future. But when one of her own is condemned, will Anna support the rule of law or become a despot to save her closest friend? Find out what happens when the conflict moves from the battlefield to the council chambers in Burden of the Crown, book six of Paul J Bennett's Heir to the Crown series.
