Shackles of Guilt by Kris Ruhler

He’s the boy next door. She’s a princess. But when blood and war reach their doorstep, will they unite or be forever pushed apart?
Young and ambitious Earmon has accomplished what others can only dream of – he is the top advisor to the Queen of Levitor city. He seems to have everything but for one thing: princess Zenithia’s love.
When he witnesses an intruder inside the city, his quiet life is turned upside down. In a world of intrigue, blood, and war, he must battle for survival against savages and beasts.
His hardest trial is yet to come, and he will have to face a choice no one should ever have to make: protect the life of the one he loves the most at the risk of losing his own. In the end, will he be enough to save her and the city?
Shackles of Guilt is a page-turning young adult sci-fi novel packed with suspense and a touch of romance and fantasy.
