The Last King's Amulet

Sumto is perceived as a lazy, gambling drunk, and he's at a crossroads where he may soon have to join the army for a brief war that he feels ill-prepared for. As the son of a Patron, he should be embracing a life of power and politics, but he prefers the company of friends, books, and the thrill of the gambling tables. Unbeknownst to him, his life is about to take a dramatic turn as he becomes an unwilling participant in the conflict brewing in the north.
