博客來The King is dead. Long live the spare.
When a devastating avalanche wipes out the reigning monarch and his family in Switzerland, the line of succession is shattered. Desperate to keep the crown from his estranged, ambitious son, Prince Arnold (and his manipulative partner, Melvin Clarkson), King Alexander IV executes a stunning contingency plan.
Enter Mathew Jeffries-Wynn: an Australian legal consultant suddenly revealed as the King’s illegitimate son. Thrust into the heart of British royalty, Mathew is named Heir Apparent to the throne of England.
But his new life is shadowed by a dangerous truth: the avalanche was no act of nature. As Mathew and his team chase a conspiracy stretching from the Swiss Alps to the corridors of power, they uncover a tangled web of security leaks, blackmail, and corruption. Suspects tied to the tragedy are silenced one by one, including a vital security head and an informant.
Can the outsider save a monarchy built on deceit, or is he just another pawn in a game far deadlier than he can imagine?
