For so long as he can remember, Alric dreamed of being a hero; of defeating a dragon and keeping the princess, but his royal position could not allow it, until… The entrance from the Mercerian Emissaries needs a princely escort, and becoming neither the heir, nor the extra, he is the perfect choice. Used to an eternity of ease and comfort, he needs this duty to be as tiresome as all the others. His tranquil lifestyle is normally upended right from the start, as havoc appears to stick to these dignitaries all over the place, causing him a variety of grief. From fighting unfamiliar animals to defending the life of the royal, he discovers that becoming a hero is much more dangerous than he ever imagined. No matter what the results, his life won’t end up being the same. Heart of the Crown is definitely audiobook three in the Heir to the Crown series. Not used to the series?
