Written by Derek Burks, The Blood of Princes follows John, a man thrust into the intrigues of a new, young, King and opens with betrayal. Or is it? This is the perfect book for anyone looking for a combination of knights and court intrigue written in a style that calls back to the 1400s. This novel was refreshing in the way it was written, and evoked an image that made me want to see this on the screen. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well written novel.
