In a kingdom shaped by war and the hunger for power, In the Eyes of the King tells the story of Rowan, a boy torn from his family at fourteen and forced to fight in a brutal war. Trained in violence, stripped of identity, and hardened by years of loss, Rowan returns home fifteen years later?not as the child who once played in the fields, but as a duke forged by war. Yet despite the title and respect, he carries a heavier burden: the past he left behind and the people who were once his world.

What follows is a sweeping tale of family, betrayal, and redemption, set against a backdrop of royal intrigue and quiet hope.
