"The guards are mad; they want to keep me as a sort of caged parakeet."Becoming the Elf King has a couple of drawbacks that Lord Spaulding never realized before. After awakening in National Palace several months ago with an abdominal wound, and part of his memory erased, the former clan leader begins to struggle with the demands of his new life. And what is the worst part of all of this?"I'm sorry, my Master, but the king of our nation must show a regal appearance at all times."And there he was. A sight that at one time seemed almost illogical. The ruthless Äimite commander that made every visit to Capital City an agony had suddenly become polite to Spaulding for no apparent reason."Froylan, why are you being so polite to me, and what do you mean that I will no longer be able to live in Tesafar?""The answer is simple, Master Lord Spaulding. You have accepted the ring and crown of our nation, and have been entrusted to rule the Elf Kingdom for the rest of your life. I have sworn eternal loyalty to you, which means that the Äimite recognizes you as our only king, and will not accept to obey someone else even if you wish to abdicate."As Spaulding tries to adjust to an alien lifestyle, and learn to trust the guard that just a few years prior had cruelly tortured him nonstop, he is viciously attacked by a traitorous guard one evening named Tamerlan. Can a cruel psychopath truly become loyal to an elf he always detested? What happens when an Äimite guard attempts to murder his king? Will Spaulding ever recover his memory? Will we ever meet the exiled clan? This and more will be unveiled in the 4th installment of An Ominous Book!
