L. Waithman

At the heart of an ancient prophecy is young Lucas, who has the sole power to save two medieval kingdoms from destruction . . . but will he discover this ultimate secret before it's too late? Lucas has been raised as a blacksmith's son; an outsider ostracized by the other village children. One night at a nearby monastery, a mysterious black stone whispers a haunting premonition to Lucas. When his father is murdered, the monks take Lucas in, convinced he is an extraordinary hero foretold by destiny. However, a restless Lucas runs off to join a circus where he draws the attention of the powerful King Itan, who believes Lucas is one of "the chosen"--a group of boys who are descendants of great warriors. The king will stop at nothing to compel Lucas to join his chosen army, all while the soldiers who killed Lucas's father are closing in. Before long, Lucas is embroiled in a plot to defeat the king while an unseen enemy begins planning to bring the young man down before he learns of his remarkable power. This first novel of L. Waithman's richly imagined fantasy series will leave you eagerly awaiting Lucas's next adventure.

Blood Ties

In the third book of The King’s Chosen series, young Lucas’s wits, powers, and courage are put to the test as he unravels an intricately woven web of deception and betrayal. As a battle between King Itan and King Boran threatens to brew, young Lucas bravely surrenders himself to Boran in an effort to save his people. The chosen, unable to accompany Lucas into Boran’s castle, anxiously watch his every move from afar. Lucas hopes that Boran’s knowledge of the prophecy will keep him from harm—anyone who kills the true king’s protector, it states, will also die. But from the moment Lucas crosses the threshold into Boran’s castle, he is in peril. Intrigued by the prophecy and whether Lucas is really the true king’s protector, Boran devises a series of dangerous trials for Lucas. To everyone’s surprise and the great displeasure of some, Lucas slowly gains Boran’s admiration and trust. Lucas discovers that not everyone in Boran’s inner circle is who they seem and learns of Boran’s cunning plan to infiltrate Itan’s lands. What lies on the other side of the mountain may be a test no one—not kings, usurpers, the chosen, nor believers of the prophecy—expected.

Although Lucas is now undoubtedly someone's target, when King Itan asks him to spy on a rival ruler, Lucas readily obeys. During his dangerous journey, young Lucas will be reunited with his friends in the traveling circus, escape a dreadful attack, and learn the truth of his existence. But when a plot by the maniacal King Boran to seize control of Itan's land is discovered, and Lucas experiences the loss of a friend, he realizes that the only way to save his people will be to surrender himself to the enemy. ​Lucas can only hope that King Boran won't kill him--believing the prophecy that anyone who kills Lucas will also perish. This page-turner will leave you breathless as Lucas fights to fulfill his destiny.
