"The Children of the King" is a story about those who should not have been.

About bastards turned into weapons. About a mother who could not be loved. About a king who sold his soul for order.

There were no epidemics in Pel's kingdom. People survived. All thanks to Meris - a witch and a healer, a woman with a kind heart and a cursed fate. The people despise her. The king uses her. And her son... deifies her.

Arthur is a sickly, thin boy with green eyes and yellow hair. Too weak to fight. Too smart to remain silent. His magic is in poison, in curses, in whispering shadows. He loves his mother. Loves her so much that it becomes scary. He hates his father. He was banished to the shadows of the palace, and now he lives for one goal: not to die... and one day take everything.

Henry is silent, rational, a year younger than Arthur. A bastard from a prophetess. A strategist with a hard heart, created to fight. Between him and Arthur there is eternal feud, outbursts of rage, blood and insults. But can a weapon dream of freedom?

Noland is the youngest, ten years old, the only legitimate son of the king. A purebred, golden boy. Kind. Naive. He does not see enemies in his brothers. But he is the chosen one. He will be called king. Even if it breaks the fates of others.

King Norbit is a man with the eyes of a predator. He is smart, dangerous and ruthless. For him, children are an investment. Women are a tool. He wants the perfect queen and perfect heirs. But his bastards are too alive to obey.

This is a story about poisoned love, about brothers bound by blood and a curse, about a kingdom where magic is a crime, and kindness is weakness.

And it all starts with one potion, one insult and one fateful mistake.
