The Eye of Valeria

<p>What does it mean to be a king? Is it a thing ordained by the gods or to be seized with an iron fist?  Or is it something else entirely something visceral to a man himself that makes him a king?  And what happens to the man when that crown is taken away?</p><p>Balazar née Valerian is such a man.  At the age of fifteen this heir to the throne of Valeria is stripped of his very identity when his city is sacked by the power-mad regicide Fantar.  Fleeing with his life and living under an assumed name Balazar begins a fifteen-year struggle for revenge as Fantar ravages city after city all around the Inland Sea.  </p>
