True honour is not borne by kings, but by the warriors and servants who must live with the consequences of their choices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong them stands Prince Gwaine, the younger son of Daroyd - loyal, thoughtful, and largely overlooked. At the perilous Fortress of Marsh, Gwaine is hardened by brutal training and the bitter realities of command. Under the guidance of the aged warrior Magnor, and alongside his steadfast friend Taron, he learns what leadership demands - and what it takes away. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGwaine departs on his dire mission with his heart burdened by separation from Princess Tanya, the one person who knows him beyond his titles of prince and warlord. As war grinds on through long journeys and uneasy alliances, decisions are made in the name of success rather than honour, and the young bond between Gwaine and Tanya is tested by distance, duty, and sacrifice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTo the Honour of the Kings\u003c\/i\u003e is a \u003cb\u003eclassic epic fantasy\u003c\/b\u003e, blending military strategy, political tension, and a quiet, enduring love placed under threat.

He grew up in a Wharf-side suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales (just north of Sydney). As an Engineering Technician, he spent his entire working career in Heavy Industry (beginning in a Steelworks in 1973) and Coal Mines in New South Wales and Queensland. He and Lindi met when they were seventeen, married at twenty two, and now have a daughter and a son and two grandchildren. Wayne has always enjoyed writing but didn't begin in earnest until 1988 when he began writing his Fantasy novel: To the Honour of the Kings. He persevered with trying to find that elusive 'spare time for creative stuff', even during the last seventeen years of self-employment. Now retired, and with Lindi's on-going support, he plans to complete three of his works-in-progress this year. His creative interests also include Art (mainly painting in Oils and with Encaustic Wax), Photography (Still and Video) and Acting (Stage and Screen).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53849386156339,"sku":"9780987093110","price":31.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/LCN6utTDfy9780987093110.webp?v=1786573989","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/to-the-honour-of-the-kings-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
