About The King's Gambit: The Bastard Son Returns Novel

Betrayed and murdered, a knight is reborn as a despised bastard prince, desperate to stop his past self from repeating a deadly mistake.

In a kingdom where power, not birthright, dictates who wears the crown, even a commoner can dream of the throne. Keiser, a loyal knight, defied expectations, rising to the final, brutal trial of the King's Gambit – a tradition that forges every monarch. With Prince Gideon Aury Valemont by his side, Keiser believed victory was certain. Gideon had seemingly abandoned his own claim to support Keiser. But appearances can be deceiving.

The final trial revealed a chilling truth. Keiser was merely a pawn, his loyalty weaponized by Gideon to eliminate rivals. When the moment of triumph arrived, betrayal struck. Impaled by the very blade forged from a dragon he once freed, Keiser watched as Gideon, a serpent cloaked in gold and lies, claimed the crown. Yet, death was not his end.

Keiser awakens in the frail body of Muzio Auro Valemont, the king's disgraced tenth prince and long-missing bastard son. This cruel second chance places him on a collision course with destiny, as the Gambit approaches once more. Muzio must prevent the same tragedy from unfolding, to save his former self from Gideon's treachery. He must convince Keiser that betrayal is imminent, that Gideon's blade will find his back again.

But Muzio's new vessel is weak, too fragile to wield a sword. To survive the trials and outmaneuver his enemies, he turns to Blood Scripting, a forbidden art demanding sacrifice. He must train relentlessly, scheme ruthlessly, pushing his deteriorating body to its limits. This thrilling fantasy adventure, The King's Gambit: The Bastard Son Returns Novel, plunges into a world of political intrigue, action, and dark magic.
