The Bard and the Fairy Prince - (Tales from the Gemstone Kingdoms) by Amanda Meuwissen (Paperback)

About the Book

When Prince Nemirac hires Janskoller to be his bodyguard, neither anticipates the bond that forms between them--or the way Nemirac's quest corrupts him. Can Janskoller convince Nemirac to abandon his pursuit of power in favor of the deeper, more lasting magic of love?

Book Synopsis

When Prince Nemirac learns of his heritage, he vows to become the most powerful demon in history. But he can't do it alone.

Feeling betrayed by his parents' lies about his true lineage, Nemirac embarks on a quest to visit all five Gemstone Kingdoms and drain the stones of their power to ascend as a new being. But until he obtains that magic, he's vulnerable.

Enter Janskoller the warrior bard.

Janskoller has just returned to the Gemstone Kingdoms, drawn by stories of broken curses and lands open for travel. He doesn't expect a pretty young mage to hire him as a bodyguard, but it's a good gig for a bard--lots of adventure to fuel his stories, and plenty of travel to spread his fame. Besides, Nemirac's passion and obvious secrets intrigue him. But soon Janskoller realizes the peril of Nemirac's goal--an end that puts the five kingdoms at risk and corrupts Nemirac into a darker, twisted version of the man Janskoller has come to care about. As the two grow closer, can Janskoller convince Nemirac to abandon his pursuit of power in favor of the deeper, more lasting magic of love?
