The King's Curse and the Summer Son (The Seasons of Verdisland Book 1)

I curse the royal family of Verdisland...'
When a Prince kills a child a Kingdom falls under the shadow of a distraught mother's curse. Meanwhile a woodcutter's motherless son plants acorns that grow to large oak trees within seasons.
Two wars, thousands of deaths, and a divided Kingdom later, a beautiful witch not only saves the King's life but promises to lift the curse she placed. Tempted by revelations of everlasting glory, ruthless King Morten relishes the pursuit of an enchanting low-born woman he believes is destined to be his Queen. Yet to win and hold her heart, the King knows he must destroy the man she loves. To do so he enlists the unlikely help of a 12-year-old pageboy. Yet nothing - and no one - is quite what they appear and Morten is totally unprepared for the bizarre chain of events his actions will unleash.
