Young Sage knows what must be done to claim the throne of Goth from evil King Iodoc, but when he disregards the advice from his elders and rushes into action, he finds himself brutally attacked and left for dead. Only when Sage wakes up in a strange cave in the Red Mountains of Goth does he realize that his life was spared. While living in the mountains, Sage's wounds heal, and he learns the meaning of being the true Prince of Goth. With the help of the holy man Sancho Pacal, the Royal Eagle Knights, General Sanchez, Lady Marina, and the rest of the resistance, he is ready to storm Goth Castle. Will Sage claim the crown for himself? Will he restore Goth to the peace-loving kingdom that it once was? Sage will need everything to go according to plan if he is to succeed in liberating the people of Goth.

Book Excerpt
Crowns and Kingdoms Goth: Book seven of the Secret Cottage Series
I could not believe my eyes: since my last visit, much had been accomplished. Our plan was coming together. Royal knights of various kingdoms and vastly different cultures, each clad in their unique styles of dress, were collaborating as one. There were knights on horseback practicing their craft, knights sparring with one another as they honed their sword and dagger skills, knights practicing archery, and even more knights stood in a circle sharing warfare strategy. Not long ago, these men were complete strangers, but now they were all working together on our behalf. It made my eyes water.
