  <default-description>Ward of Hurog has tried all his life to convince people he is just a simple, harmless fool...And it's worked. But now, to regain his kingdom, he must ride into war-and convince them otherwise. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &quot;Patricia Brigg's novels...are clever, engaging [and] fast-moving.&quot; (&lt;i&gt;Romantic Science Fiction &amp; Fantasy&lt;/i&gt;)

From the author's website:
The first of the Hurog books. Can be read as a stand-alone novel (no cliff-hanger endings!). </default-description>

The plot is pretty standard fantasy novel fare: hero meets Bad Situation, overcomes it, and Good Things start to happen. Where Patricia Briggs excels is in her characters.
