In a realm oppressed by a tyrant, a legendary commander seeks vengeance and a kingdom's salvation in The Never King, an epic fantasy adventure by James Abbott.

Xavir Argentum, once poised to inherit a kingdom, now rots in the squalor of Hell's Keep, serving a life sentence for an atrocity he didn't commit. His elite warriors are dead, and the land he was to rule suffers under the reign of the tyrant who framed him. For five long years, Xavir has governed nothing but a prison gang.

Yet vengeance comes to those who wait. When a former spymaster infiltrates the Keep with news of his old enemy's treachery, plans are forged. An unlikely alliance of rogues and heroes, including an exiled queen and an outcast witch, unite to restore peace. But peace and vengeance make uneasy companions. First, Xavir must escape his prison confines and confront the tyrant who wronged him. In a world of betrayal and secrets, can Xavir reclaim his destiny and save a kingdom on the brink of ruin?
