King by Right of Blood and Might by Anna Walls

buy the book

I would like to present you with Anna Walls first endeavor, a book that I have written titled King by Right of Blood and Might. It is a story about a young prince who must learn how to run a country from sources other than his father. His father, the king, had been a paranoid recluse ever since his own father died and he ran his family accordingly.

During that time, the infrastructure of the country collapsed and many of its citizens were enslaved and taken away. Knowing that he couldn’t teach his son the things he wanted and needed to know, King Aidyn sent his son to foster with the neighboring king to the south. After my young hero learned the things he needed to learn, he had to assemble an army and return home to reclaim and rebuild his own country.

His unique friendships afforded him an unprecedented opportunity to do that. All that remained to be seen is if he can hold it all together long enough to achieve his goals. During this time, we watch his mother descend into insanity and his love for his betrothed grow. We also learn more about how things in the country reached this state and more about his family.

About the Author

My name is Anna Walls, I live in bush Alaska approximately 60 river miles from the end of the nearest road and I work as a housekeeper/gardener at a fishing lodge approximately seven river miles from where I live. I drive to work every day in a small 16′ boat and in the winter, I drive a snow machine to work when I work for the lodge during the Iditarod sled dog race that passes by on the Yetna river.

For many years, I have occasionally opened a notebook and written down a story. Nothing ever came of that work until, a few years ago, my son gave me an old laptop computer. Of course, the first thing I did was begin to type my current creation from my notebook into the computer. I quickly learned to use the tools a computer offers. Such things as the spelling and grammar checking capability helped me to learn a lot about the mechanics of writing. The ease of making changes in the text made my hobby pure pleasure. Since I started to use that first little computer, my hobby has occupied almost all of my ‘free’ time. I love to read and lose myself in some far away world created from someone’s imagination and I have found that creating and peopling such worlds is every bit as fun if not more so, so it has become my dream to share my creations with others.
