Remiel Tantilis, the orphan prince of Tarkon, is torn between his dark upbringing and the good spirit he inherited from his mother.
With Tarkon under the rule of the evil Brethren cult living on the island of Thune, Remiel has failed to find an amulet that could destroy the group’s leader. Crestfallen, he returns home to honor his arranged but loveless marriage.
When Remiel’s soulless stepfather, King Tantilis, tells him that his betrothed has been practicing the evil arts in an effort to rule Thune, Remiel befriends a concubine who encourages him to abandon his allegiances and seek peace. But Remiel can’t let this slight to his honor go unpunished and destroys a group of Brethren priests in retribution. But when things go badly and he’s aided by an unlikely source, Remiel is convinced he has betrayed his people.
Soon he returns home to find his land on the brink of war–and his only hope is to find the amulet or see his land, and his soul, destroyed.
For fans of Glen Cook and Robert Jordan, The Last Prince of Thune is a dark fantasy about power, loyalty, and love–and the price of each.
