Smart, capable, and unusually strong—Prince Alaric Audramn is different from the rest of the King's children. His mother showers herself with praise, paying for the best tutors, bragging to her ladies about having conceived such an extraordinary prince. While his father orders Alaric be trained into a great warrior so that he can showcase his son like another of his trophies.  But what does Alaric want? What you'll find - A coming of age story that follows Alaric from prepubescent teen to adult. He's a little immature and naive, but don't worry, puberty and certain events will force him to grow.  - A protagonist with strength unnatural for his age, struggling with the inconvenience of having limited control. - Mix of court politics, occasional backstabbing, orchestrated conflicts, battles, and some adventure later on. - Slow start at the beginning as I lay foundations for the plot. If necessary, I may include minor time skips to hasten the pace. - Unfamiliar terms, cultural nuances, and world lore I'll try my best to reveal through: context clues, dialogue, or character POV's. What you won't find - Our protagonist building a harem. - LitRPG. - Everything going Alaric's way.
