Why should you read this book? There are battles of wit, adventure, and battle. Love interests. Friendship between old rivals and enemies from old friends. Give it a read, you might like it. Political thriller meets action in a world of whimsy and fantasy and fairytale, as the fallen Lordling and Former Heirling of the Red Sword navigates through political intrigue and cutthroat battles, using his wits and what remains of his strength to survive the first day as a servant so he can win a Game, and regain everything lost: Rank, Position, and Power. Most importantly, can he regain his own freedom and escape the influence of the Murderous Red Lord and the Traitorous Senate? What to expect: Strong to weak, to very strong but different. Word games.  Awesome battle scenes.  Slow romance. Serious bromance.  Fantastical settings. No harem (in the end). Lordling Elswith, Heirling of the Red Sword, has lost everything. His Position. His Power. His Place in the Seelie Courts. Enemies within his own Court and enemies outside of it have collided against him and replaced him with a stranger. Elswith had tried to play the game and lost. But he did gain something else. Something new. He found his True Name, Daniel, and with it, an opportunity to be free from those above him, free from the restrictions of a Lordling of Fae and to be a Lord once and for all. He just has to win a Game. A Capital 'G' Game, with a Capital G. Three rounds, but he has to survive his new position as a servant long enough to even make it to the beginning of the Game. And if he losses, it is not just his life at stake. Can he survive his first day as Servant Branch?
