Raiders, sent by the unscrupulous Boswell Flamewright, capture Tomasella Iccasian and her cousin, Prince Rhian, at the prince's sixth birthday fete. Tomasella is a fledgling mage with an abundance of untapped and untrained power and, sensing her powerful magical aura, the Wizard Emory proposes to take her under his corrupt wing. The evil Boswell, remembering Tomasella from a much earlier abusive encounter, desires her for his bed and amusement.
But Tomasella shows great fortitude and bravery and escapes the nefarious clutches of Boswell and soon finds herself with a personal army of three mercenaries; the silent and honorable Shade, the irascible Wyn, and the brave Yount. As they travel on their quest to retrieve the young prince from his captors, Tomasella quickly learns to harness her magical powers. But will they be able to reach the young prince in time?
C.K. Crigger offers you a tale full of rich descriptions and characters that will capture your attention in THE PRINCE'S COUSIN. As you follow the unlikely troupe in their quest to rescue the young prince from his despicable captors this reviewer thinks that you will find this young heroine, Tomasella, full of both perseverance and principles. Shade, who at first glance seems nothing more than a paid assassin, becomes a hero to be admired and has a code of personal conduct that he adheres to. This reviewer found this story of bravery against great odds to be enjoyable.
