BXBX NOVEL 
A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.
A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.
Combined, they will have both means and status.
Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and turn the country of his ancestors into a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?
“Okay, first step: Let\'s make some Brandy.”
...that’s a maybe then.
Author’s note: I love the idea of kingdom-building novels and think the genre has a lot to offer, but I don’t think many authors do them very well. Here is my attempt. The novel has a strong focus on politics and kingdom building, with occasional action and a bit of humor. Have fun.
