The Charmcaster (Unabridged‪)‬

Duke of the Glades, John Duncan has always done things for the good of the kingdom. He married one of the women from the mountain tribes to make the new alliance go smoother and was prepared to live with her for the rest of his days.

Things did not go according to plan. Their son was born with a handicap that others in the kingdom would never overlook. Instead of being born a mage like his parents, Rell Duncan was born a charmcaster. Young Rell is sent away, and his father remarries to have an heir the people will accept. Now, as a grown man, Rell has returned to claim his birthright from his younger brother, despite what others think about him, and prove no mage is a match for the charmcaster.
