Synopsis

Exiled by his own father, Prince Kitsune has one chance to reclaim his throne: assassinate the heir of a rival kingdom. A son who wields fiery powers.
Kitsune dreamed of commanding armies, not surviving as a banished outcast. He's desperate to please the king and earn back his birthright—to prove his worth through blood.
Beyond the palace walls, Kitsune navigates a treacherous world of mercenaries and political betrayal. His only ally is Myobu, an enigmatic traveler with secrets as dark as his eyes. Together, they uncover the ancient powers of the Yokai—spirits with unfathomable magic.
And Kitsune discovers he possesses these gifts too.
As the two men journey deeper into danger, unexpected emotions complicate their bond. The Yokai magic surging through Kitsune grows stronger each day, a force capable of obliterating kingdoms. To complete his mission and win his father's approval, he must master these powers.
But can he control the darkness within before it consumes everything he holds dear?

Prepared to loathe The King’s Sun, I instead found myself delighted from beginning to end. Grisham has created a dense, complex worl......more

I really enjoyed this exciting adventure story of a prince, kicked out of the palace, finding his way on his quest. Several plot twists were genuinely surprising.......more

I loved this book. Great, rich world building. We begin by seeing the life Prince Kitsune lives, as well as how hard he pushes to impress his father, the king. And then everything is ripped away. And in it's happening, we are taken on a journey though this amazing world with Yokai and magic. There's......more
