Tales of the Kingdom Vol. 05 (Hardcover)

The crown prince of Sharibalte walks the lonely halls of his vast palace, his mother’s sanity lost, his brother turned against him, and his father the King dead…Ascending to the throne at last, he becomes known as “Moonlight King” on account of his beautiful visage. The bold king launches a war of conquest against the neighboring countries, and takes Olga, twelfth princess of the seaside nation of Pean, as his consort—though his new bride is still but a young girl…

Series Overview: Purple-eyed Adarte, blue-eyed Adolte. One enveloped in light—the graceful son—and one shrouded in darkness—the prisoner. Even as their souls are drawn together, destiny would tear them apart. Elsewhere in the kingdom, a heroic king is served by an enigmatic aide from a faraway land. His path has torn him from his dearest kin and placed him in the halls of power—to what end…? The first of Asumiko Nakamura’s beautifully wrought tales set in a fantastic kingdom of intrigue and heartache…
