THE LAST CASPARON KING

The Casparon dynasty learns the hard way that it's disadvantageous to have only one heir to the throne, when a hostile takeover by the military leaves the ruling family of Korazin teetering on the edge of extinction. The head of the forces, General Garrera, conspires with the enemy, and obtains military support from them with which to defeat two loyalist garrisons who are now fighting to install the 13-year-old Crown Prince. The King has been murdered, and the rest of the royal family is either also dead or locked up by hostile forces who have also taken the Palace. But very fortuitously, the Crown Prince, the one who needs to be especially removed, is not at the Palace when General Garrera executes his coup. And Korazin is plunged into civil and political war between the General's forces and loyalist guerillas. Two years pass before it's concluded, with Garrera on the winning side. The Crown Prince is dead. Or so everyone thinks. Two years at war takes a toll on a young man. With Garrera's net closing in on him and the last of the Royal Brigade, he sails off on a small ship with Goldoran ships chasing him. The ship drifts into what is known as the Meridian, a line in the sea across which no ships or men can survive. Legend has it that it is the edge of the world, beyond which men are not welcome. But the Prince lives. Finding himself in a strange land, he is the only one who knows about the existence of another land across the water. This is the story of K'rar von Caspar and his 14-year exile in this land, where he establishes himself to the status of a folk hero and prepares for a grand return to Korazin, with a sophisticated army of foreigners, massive advanced ships, giants and a secret weapon. His army, of both men and women, will fight for him to the death. Will he cross the meridian again? Can his new army fight both Korazin and Goldora? Do his people even want or recognize him?
