The Runaway King is book two in the Ascendance trilogy. The fact that I am reading a sequel says a lot about the first book. I like the setting; castles, kings, courts, swords and such. In the first book, King Jaron, presumed dead, returns to claim the throne of Carthya. He is young, not yet of legal age. His regents are not confident in his ability to lead.
SPOILER ALERT - This book starts out with an assassination attempt and King Vargan and the pirates threat of an invasion. The title of this book makes me think that Jaron will panic and run from the throne. Stay tuned.
