Aric's life as the prince is pretty good - his father is a good ruler and he is being trained to take his place. But one day a mysterious ring appears on his father's finger and causes him to become ill to the point of death. It isn't until Albaric appears mysteriously and is able to remove the ring that the king gets better - at least physically. But Albaric's story is suspicious and threatening to the king. It turns out that the king was kidnapped by a fairy queen and kept for many years - long enough that together they had a son, Albaric. But the queen eventually tired of the king and their son and sent the king back - as if no time had passed with the ring on his finger. The king doesn't want to accept the truth and becomes bitter and angry. Aric meanwhile thinks of Albaric as a true brother.
Can the two men make peace with the king before his anger cause harm?
This book was really interesting. I was quite intrigued with the beginning. I will say it lost a little steam mid way but then had some cool twists at the end. All in all a decent read.
