Thirdborn

Rhett Allen is the thirdborn son of a minor lord trying to figure out his life after university. When a sudden family catastrophe throws his plans into chaos, he must make a decision. Should he do what people expect him to do or chart his own course? With all the gold to his name, he sets off into a chaotic world of dangerous creatures, even more dangerous humans, and other situations that no thirdborn should face alone. Thankfully, he meets a few good women along the way.

War changes a man. Rhett Allen, a thirdborn from the New World, learned that the hard way. He went to the Old World with two simple jobs: protect his sister, and build his guild. Now, he’s found himself on the losing side of a battle, and on the precipice of a war that could engulf an entire empire. To make matters worse, the only way he survived was by making a deal with the prince who started the whole thing. Add in a goddess of death and chaos, and Rhett has found himself making life or death decisions usually reserved for much more powerful firstborns.

All along the frontline, the forces of Penn have faltered and been pushed back. Only Rhett Allen in the small hamlet of South Boston stood his ground. Even better, he won. With the Georgian vanguard defeated and the heir to the Georgian throne in his custody, he's offered hope to a nation mired in defeat. But standing his ground won't be enough to win this war. To make use of the new prisoner, he must get her to Philadelphia where the King and his court can leverage her capture to shift the tides of battle in their favor.

Rhett has struck a blow at the heart of the Queendom of Georgia. He destroyed their royal palace, killed an up-and-coming general, saved a princess, and bruised a lot more than the Queen's ego. But despite the success of his raid, he still has one important task left to complete down south... he has to get out of there alive. There is only one option.
