Birth by Flame

Garus, the crown prince of the fantastic kingdom of Deralan, has everything a young man could possibly want: money, power, beautiful girls, and zero responsibilities. All that changes when a terrible tragedy rips Garus out of his pampered lifestyle, forcing him to leave behind the world of the rich and famous for that of the poor and unknown. It is in this world that Garus meets Shiro, a stoic farmer with a distrust for this stranger, and Mulayan, a bubbly and beautiful dancing girl from a foreign land. The three band together when they uncover a devious plot that would plunge Deralan into chaos and civil war. Garus must face both his enemies and his own failures to reclaim his throne and save his people.
