Laura J Fitzwilson, Book Launch – The Fool
Heritage Reading Room
The Fool
Laura J. Fitzwilson
After his parents and brother are assassinated, Leo is forced to become king of the smallest country on a continent that looks an awful lot like Australia.
He faces a kingdom on the brink of bankruptcy and a mistimed sneeze away from being drawn into a war; a murderous cult with a fixation on his family; and … the castle fool is like, really mean. He better learn how to juggle, fast.
