Enjoy chapter one of Rise of the Tobian Princess, narrated by Erik Franklin. The audio book is part of the Kickstarter campaign for the leather hardcover with gold foil textured dust jacket edition by award winning author and screenwriter D.L. Gardner.
When Erika accidentally kills the king of an allied island whose magic her father's kingdom needs to win the war, the entire populace is in jeopardy. With an enemy nation in the east preparing for battle against them, and an evil thaumaturge attacking her brother's army from the north, King Tobias is left powerless against his foes.
Despondent over her mistake, Erika travels across the sea to make amends.
Arell thinks of himself as a simple man having been born of an islander mother. He has a strong aversion to residing in a castle, but his life is turned upside down when his father’s body arrives home covered in mourning cloth, assuring Arell's coronation as King of Cho Nisi.
The only comfort he finds after the death of his father, is the attention given him by a lovely red-haired princess who comes ashore from the kingdom of Potamia. He loses his heart to her, but little does he know that she is the one who killed his father.
The Cho Nisi islanders are relentless in their pursuit for justice and vengeance for their king's death. When they discover that Erika is the one responsible, King Arell is faced with a gut-wrenching decision.
Meanwhile, Erika's brother is left holding off an entire enemy front. Lacking the wizard his sister took with her, and no allies, Barin falls into the hands of evil.
The Sword of Cho Nisi is about redemption after tragedy, about the influence of evil, about men attempting to fight against a power greater than themselves, and about overcoming their differences in the face of death.
Come see the books the Sword of Cho Nisi series in this and the upcoming campaigns.
