Metamorphoses

The world is being rebuilt after the defeat of the Black Horde and central to the reconstruction is the Marshal Prince Rudolf Elphberg, who is leading a multi-national body called the Oecumene based in New Constantinople. Only he can command the prestige to build a new world order and he finds himself with many challenges and enemies but also new friends and allies both strange and unsuspected. Will Martinovic, a naive and ordinary Rothenian teenager, is caught up in the tumult of his age. He finds himself in love with a foreign prince, who is destined to be one of the new kings of the Oecumene. What happens next turns out to be the darker sort of fairytale romance.
