Cunning: Of a Mighty King, Evil Vizier, Innocent Prince, and Brainy Princess (Dark Matters! Book 1)

The thing about kings is they get too comfortable. They let the power go to their head and expect that everyone loves them when the truth is, everyone's out to steal their crown. My King wasn't a bad King. Some would say he was fair. You crossed him, you had to go, end of story. And on that fateful day, the one who had to go was me.

It's just that I didn't wanna go. So I let him think he'd pinned me down. I played the part of a desperate man, as if I didn't know what was coming. I thought I was playing him like a cheap fiddle. Little did I know that my King was not the only one being played...

This suspenseful story is full of twists, turns, and surprises. 34 pages. Rated R for violence.
