MUSE MONDAY
Please welcome Sylvie Grayson with her new release, Prince of Jiran.
When I wrote the first book of The Last War series, I expected there would be two or three books. Here we are at Book Five, and Six is just hovering at the back of my brain! It has been a lot of fun to write this fifth book. It dives into the culture of Jiran, a loose collection of tribal families that travel the plains across the mountains to the west of Khandarken. These people don’t have good relations with the other countries around them. They stayed out of the Last War, keeping to the sidelines and refusing to take sides between Emperor Aqatain and the rebel forces that finally defeated him. Thus the Prince of Jiran is stuck with trying to mend relations at a time he is suffering an assault of his own and needs the support. And of course Princess Chinata has caught his eye, and that complicates an already complicated situation!
Shandro, Prince of the Penrhy tribe of Jiran, disagrees with his father, Sovereign Pollack, on nearly every issue that arises between them. But his goal is to uphold the family values in spite of Pollack’s conniving moves as he deals with the hotbed of competing nations surrounding them.

Then
Shandro is sent on a mission across the mountains into Khandarken to bring back
Princess Chinata, a bride for Emperor Carlton’s Advisor. In exchange, Jiran and
the Penrhy tribe are given
a peace agreement, protection against invasion by
the Emperor’s troops. This seems a good trade, as Carlton is hovering on their
borders with his need for more land. However, not far into the journey, it
becomes apparent someone is not adhering to the terms of the peace accord.
Near
the tribal border, Shandro and his troops have come under direct attack from
unknown forces. He digs deeper into Chinata’s background to find strong ties to
the New Empire. Is it too dangerous to bring Princess Chinata into Jiran? Or as
her escort, does Shandro become her defender against the Emperor’s troops?
