The King's Agent
Another awesome read by DK Holmberg! I have read many by him and have never been disappointed. I really enjoyed reading this first book in the series, I had a hard time putting my kindle down! The characters are all different, want different things, hide different information, yet come together! This story has lots of twists and surprises, I am starting book 2 in the series noe!
