Pretenders of Kronau

"It seemed to me that it would be in everyone's best interest if I just went home and never worried about Kronau again." When Matthew Becker befriends the strange family renting one of his uncle's lakeside cabins, all he wants is a date with the children's governess. Instead, he and the children are kidnapped and dragged through a goblin-haunted forest between worlds to the kingdom of Kronau. Becker's uncanny resemblance to their enemy and kidnapper makes him a useful pawn in the power struggle between the young prince and princess and their militaristic uncle. It may also be the key to getting back home-if only he can live long enough to figure out how. Pretenders of Kronau is a story of adventure, obsession, sacrifice, romance, deceit, and magic.
