About this audiobook

Marius, King of the South and husband to warrior-princess Riffe, faces quiet resentment from his court who see him as overshadowed by his wife's military fame. Rather than resort to flashy displays of magic, he proves his worth through meticulous administration—building infrastructure, managing fair taxation, and maintaining honest accounting. When insulted at dinner, he responds with dignity rather than force, earning gradual respect. Meanwhile, in the North, Marius's dying grandfather calls a King Trial—a competition among descendants to choose the next ruler. Despite already wearing a crown, Marius is summoned. The contestants include: Yenna from the Deep North, the pompous Duke Corwin, knight Sir Anttias (Marius's childhood friend who once promised to marry Riffe), and Marius himself.
