The Runaway King

Summary
Just weeks after Jaron has taken the throne, an assassination attempt forces him into a deadly situation. Rumors of a coming war are winding their way between the castle walls, and Jaron feels the pressure quietly mounting within Carthya. Soon, it becomes clear that deserting the kingdom may be his only hope of saving it. But the further Jaron is forced to run from his identity, the more he wonders if it is possible to go too far. Will he ever be able to return home again? Or will he have to sacrifice his own life in order to save his kingdom?

Afterthoughts
GO OUT AND GET THIS BOOK!!!! You will not regret it!
I'm not one for talking about sequels (I don't want to give anything away), but, since I already blogged about The False Prince, I'm sharing this one.
The Runaway King was one of the best books I've read in a long time. Most sequels are hard for me to enjoy because they lack a true beginning and ending. This one, though, was brilliant!
I really enjoyed revisiting Jaron's character and kingdom. The story kept me guessing and kept the hero believable and relatable. I loved learning more about the young king and other characters. This is a book, and series, that I HIGHLY recommend. So, grab your keys and go get it now!!

Warnings
