The Heathen King

"Sebastian Drake is angsty, unruly, craves adventure, picks fights, and fancies pretty boys. A prince in a royal family with 12 other siblings he so desperately wants to escape from, is burdened with a secret only he and his twin brother possess. Once upon a time, in the land of Erras, gods who harnessed extraordinary gifts came to the world and passed on their powers to those who they deemed worthy. Sebastian's father, King Ivan keeps the secrets of his twin sons power a secret, knowing that one day, his heirs would rule all over Erras. When Ivan reveals his secret, the eldest of the Drake siblings, Berren is driven mad with jealousy and hatred for his brothers and plans to eliminate the power of the gods for good with the help of an unlikely ally. He strategically tricks his brothers into his evil plot and tortures them until he assumes death, then seats himself on the throne to rule maniacally over his kingdom. Sebastian is forced into the lands forgotten long ago where only the people who worship the long lost gods inhabit. He finds mentorship and love and is crowned king. With an army at his back, he now has the strength and numbers to go to war to save his family, his kingdom, and the one he loves from a life of pain and suffering while sacrificing his desire to be free of his obligations."--Back cover.
