Prince Jalan Kendeth is many things: royal, charming, cowardly, and absolutely not cut out for heroism. He prefers wine, women, and wagering over war.
But when he survives a death trap and becomes magically bound to a grim Norse warrior named Snorri, Jal’s lazy life takes a sharp turn toward the undead-infested north.
The Red Queen, his terrifying grandmother, fights a hidden war for the fate of the empire. Her most dangerous weapon is The Silent Sister—a crone Jal can see but refuses to acknowledge.
As curses tighten and secrets unravel, Jal stumbles toward something he never wanted: courage.
From the author of The Broken Empire, Prince of Fools is a brutal and hilarious fantasy of reluctant quests, undead enemies, and fate’s cruelest jokes.
