The courage of Kattanan duRhys saved a kingdom and created a legend perhaps impossible to equal. Now his son, Wolfram duRhys, wild prince of the realm, spends his days wenching, carousing, and shunning the legacy of his revered father. But Wolfram's revelries end when his carefree existence is shattered by an assassination attempt—and he discovers the lie he's been living . . . and the dark destiny that awaits.

Now the wayward son must flee to a distant land of magic and mystery—to enflame the love of a cloistered virgin, and the ire of a priestess who plans a bloody revenge. And suddenly the fate of an imperiled land rests with a reluctant prince who once lived for pleasure alone . . . and whose actions will either save his world or leave it smoldering in ruins.

But now the singer's simple life is threatened by chaos and dark wizardry, by his impossible secret love for the betrothed Princess Melisande . . . and by an obligation of the blood that forces Kattanan to pursue vengeance and a crown he's not certain he wants.

What the critics say about The Singer's Crown:

"This standalone epic fantasy portrays a richly detailed world filled with memorable characters."
-- Library Journal

-- Publishers Weekly

"This story fills in a bit of Kattanan's history before he goes on to become the hero of my novel, The Singer's Crown. I had the concept for the magic, and the meetings which occur, but I was searching for just the right place-so I layered in my fascination with shipwrecks, and discovered a whole new world."
