<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Indevan Algara-Vayir was born the second son of a powerful prince, destined to stay at home and defend his familys castle. But when war threatens, Inda is sent to the Royal Academy where he learns the art of war and finds that danger and intrigue don't only come from outside the kingdom.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Acclaimed <i>Inda</i> series within Sherwood Smith's epic fantasy <i>Sartorias-deles</i> universe <b>- Military fantasy woven with courtly politics, vast worldbuilding, and diverse characters</b></b> <p/> Indevan-Dal is the second son of the Prince and Princess of Choraed Elgaer, destined to become his elder brother Tanrid's Shield Arm-his military champion. Like all second sons, he is to be privately trained at home by Tanrid, the brother whose lands he will one day protect. <p/> When the King's Voice comes to summon Inda to the Military Academy, he might well feel foreboding, or even fear-war is imminent-yet youthful Inda feels only excitement. But there are things that Tanrid hadn't prepared him for, and Inda will soon learn that the greatest threats to his safety will not come from foreign enemies, but from supposed allies within his own country.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the Inda series: <p/>"The complexity and depth and inventiveness that <b>mark a first-rate fantasy novel</b>....
