Prince of Dogs

Prince of Dogs, written by American author Kate Elliot  is the second novel in the series, CROWN OF STARS; the first being King's dragon and the third, The Burning Stone. Kate Elliot is a pseudonym, her actual name is Alis A. Rasmussen.

Prince of Dogs presents the kingdom of Wendar and Varre in trouble as the Eika warriors attack them and gradually take over their lands. The story features;

• Sanglant, the prince of dogs, chained to the Eika Lord's throne; 
• Liath, once a slave under a friar who treated her badly, now accepted into King Henry's courier coup - The Eagles; and the warrior who with her arrow called 'The seeker of hearts' shot at the heart of the Eika lord and killed him;
• the children Matthias and Anna who survived an Eika attack on their home town; 
• the young prince, Alain, a friend of Liath's and bastard son of the Count Lavastine;
• Fifth brother, son of the Eika Lord, Bloodheart

The story is set in the 10th century Europe, a very interesting (and quite complex) book.
