Here's the blurb:
When the heir to the throne is treated as an outcast, he has to prove himself before he can rule.
Prince Metis Itxaron is the son of a human father and a goblin mother. As heir to the Twin Thrones, he will some day bear the responsibility of ruling two peoples while protecting the kingdom from the vicious armies of the Bandit Queen and the Elves of the Great Forest.
Instead he spends his time getting drunk and sleeping with the few women willing to look beyond his mixed heritage.
In a desperate attempt to make a man out of him, his parents send him on a secret diplomatic mission to prepare for an upcoming war. What they don't expect is that he will come upon visitors from an unknown land beyond the Sea of Mist, a strange labyrinth of fog that has baffled navigators for all of recorded history.
Metis sees a visit to these new lands as an opportunity to escape his responsibilities and prove himself on his own terms.
Then he discovers that representatives from his kingdom's enemies are coming along for the voyage. . .
This is the second book in the Chronicles of the House of Itxaron series. The first volume is Roots Run Deep. While set in the same world, each title is a standalone novel.
Thanks for everyone who helped me on the cover and blurb. Much appreciated!
