Weldwyn has fallen, and with it, all hope of peace. The army of Merceria, bruised and beaten, returns only to learn of the invasion of its closest ally, Weldwyn. With the Palace destroyed by dragons, and the royal family presumed dead, Summersgate surrenders without a fight, leaving those within fearing for their very lives. Powerless to withstand the coming darkness, some choose to side with their captors, putting the success of Weldwyn's liberation in jeopardy. Even as the Mercerian army regroups, opposition at home spreads, creating an explosive situation where enemy soldiers are not the only danger they must now confront. Outnumbered and overwhelmed, all their cunning and experience may not be enough to vanquish the evil that threatens to engulf the land. Discover what's in store for the denizens of the Four Kingdoms as Paul J Bennett's Heir to the Crown series continues in book ten, Triumph of the Crown.  Grab your copy to join the fight today to free Weldwyn from its oppressors! New to the series?
