The Poison Plot
The Adventures of Roderic

Roderic Delorro rises through the ranks to become the youngest captain in history--the best of the Lacassian Royal Guard. Despite his impressive resume, he is assigned to guard Princess Adrienne du Parries. It's not the first time he's been passed over because of his family. 

 The secret past of the Delorros rears its ugly head as Roderic’s parents are kidnapped into Calendenia. Roderic and his commander immediately set out to rescue them, but fall into a trap.

 Roderic  infiltrates the elite military squad of Calendenia, penetrating deep into the corridors of power. He discovers the King of Calendenia has a plot underway to poison the nobles of Reynolda at a ball, and Princess Adrienne is invited. 

Roderic has been shielded from danger his whole life, but finds he is destined to the greatest campaign of all--to reclaim the kingdom and thwart the Poison Plot.
