A tale of terrible beauty in which two desperate and friendless boys, lurking in the fringes of nobility turn to each other to find the courage to aspire, dream and summon the most potent force of all: The Will to Power.
This prequel to The Heart of a Prince weaves a saga of bitter conflict, smoldering desires and undying love. Kings will fall and conversely rise in a passionate struggle for a revered land.
HEART OF A PRINCE
- ISet in a land of mysticism and enchantment, over a millennia before the birth of Christ. This tale is a prescient account of a man’s epic search for himself and his heritage. Plumbing the depths of human love, jealousy and hate. Wrestling with the frightening power of his turbulent emotions. A retelling of the story of Moses. Before he led the Hebrews out of bondage. Before he became an icon of freedom, he was a warrior Prince of Egypt. What would make a man with the world at his feet; exposed to all the trappings of power forgo privilege? Was he galvanized by a crisis of conscience or an acquisition of new identity? All while waging a fierce war within himself-a conflict of choices and future.
