The Five Cavalries: A Dark Fantasy Series: Romance, Civil War, and Feuding Families

by Angelina Bruno

Fractured kingdoms, a prince unable to shake his cruel past, and the high cost of redemption, where peace comes at a deadly price.

England is no longer one kingdom, but four. The North, South, East, and West stand divided, and when The West declares war, the country is plunged into a brutal conflict unlike anything in its history.

As kingdoms crumble and villains conquer, five soldiers rise to save England and reclaim The West. They are The Five Cavalry; elite warriors drawn from across England, each carrying the determination to win the bloody civil war tearing their nations apart. Together, they are the last hope of a land on the brink of collapse.

Among them is Dmitri Mortimer, a skilled soldier hiding a dangerous he is the former prince of The West. Branded by his brother’s cruelty and hunted by a past he cannot escape, Dmitri must decide whether he can reclaim his honor, or if he will forever live in the shadow of Alexei Mortimer, the tyrant king determined to destroy everything in his path.

As war spreads and loyalties are tested, Dmitri must confront the question that haunts him is fighting against his brother enough, or must he face the throne he abandoned to truly be free?

"This series is awesome. Dmitri is such a complex character with multitudes of horrific things he has to run from, but he does so as gracefully as one would expect. The characters are so memorable and each one has such close significance to his life and story. I love the balance of violence and romance and fluff. With the chaos of the war comes a softness with Gwen and with him and his family. What a cliffhanger, too! I can’t wait to see where this goes!" -amazon reviewer
