Lord Monte: The Journey from Nothing to the Throne

Do you judge a book by its cover, or do you open it and look inside?

You are invited to travel on a journey to Jocund-once a city of pure joy turned to one of utter oppression and famine.

Dustin, the Prince of Sans Defaut, and his six deadly Black Warriors have one common goal: Reclaim the Kingdom of Jocund from the sadistic hands of Lord Monte.

Rose, once the best friend of the Princess of Jocund and who is now a mere castle seamstress, clings to unending hope for her broken city. She places her faith in an unknown deliverer who mysteriously seems to know every detail about her life, yet she knows nothing of him.

Lord Monte is a ruler of rumors, a madman, and a leader who is thirsty for blood. He holds the people of Jocund captive for his personal pleasure and entertainment as they fight to the death to survive.
