The kingdom of Altis is at war with itself. King Eracles of Altis has been murdered by his traitorous brother Thaddeus. His sons, Gerard, Viktor, and Wesley, are on the run, each with a specific set of instructions to turn the tide, win the war, and reclaim the throne. But staying alive to carry out those orders may prove a challenge for Prince Viktor as he makes his way North to the neighboring kingdom of the elves. The first installment in a new fantasy series from author Genevieve N. Colletta, The Heir of Veridis follows the journey of Prince Viktor and Christine Lucas, two childhood friends, as they go on a quest to save their homeland of Altis. Along the way Viktor learns to step into the role left by his father, to lead and put his people above himself. Christine discovers that the things she thought she knew about her deceased mother weren't entirely true and that she has a bigger role to play in saving Altis than even she expected. And both must reassess their role in each other's lives as they're faced with the possible end of life as they've known it. Will Viktor be successful in securing aid from the elves? Will Christine find answers as to why her father ordered her to go to Veridis when he died? And what will become of their friendship as war and family threaten to pull them apart?
