Alexander of Teagos Paula Porter

Queen Evelyn of Teagos knows her country is counting on her to not only rule wisely, but to also raise the now deceased King William's only heir to be an honest, strong, and faithful ruler. When her three-year-old son becomes increasingly unruly and begins showing signs of superior intelligence, the Queen is shocked to discover a changeling occupies her son's bed. The true heir to the throne is missing.

In order to protect the realm, the Queen sends her champion and best friend, Alexander, to retrieve the missing heir before all of Teagos discovers his disappearance and loses faith in her ability to rule. As Alexander travels through the world of Ausaleres, he is caught in the ferocious tendrils of a magical creature and soon realizes he is a marked man. Fate soon plays a major part in Alexander's future as Tanius of the Hidden Forest tribe, and Mica of Bergamot save his life and agree to escort him to safety. But wizards, sorceresses, dragons, and dark elves patrol this magic land, and Alexander's journey is not easy.

Through one dangerous encounter after another, Alexander discovers that the Queen has more than one secret that could end her reign forever.
