The Way of Steel

This is a new edition of Only the Worthy, significantly rewritten and newly published in December 2018! Only the Worthy tells the epic coming of age story of Royce, 17, a peasant farmer who senses that powers reside within him beyond what he can understand. When his true love, Genevieve, 17, is stolen from him, he must risk it all to wage war with the nobles and save his love. Banished from his homeland, sentenced to the infamous Red Isle - a barren island known for turning boys into warriors, and for leaving behind more dead than alive - Royce must hope to survive.

In Only the Valiant (The Way of Steel, Book Two), Royce, 17, is on the run, fleeing for his freedom. He reunites with the peasant farmers as he attempts to rescue his brothers and flee for good. Genevieve, meanwhile, learns a shocking secret, one that will affect the rest of her life. She must decide whether to risk her own life to save Royce’s - even as he thinks she betrayed him. The aristocracy prepares for war against the peasantry, and only Royce can save them. But Royce’s only hope lies in his secret powers - powers he is not even sure he has.

From Morgan Rice, number one bestselling author of The Quest of Heroes, comes a riveting new fantasy series. In Only the Destined (The Way of Steel, book three), Royce, 17, must embark with his friends on an epic journey across the sea to find the magic relic that can lead him to his father. With the king gathering an army to attack their lands, the fate of his people depends on him. Genevieve, meanwhile, finally aware of the evil nature of her noble guests, must make an epic decision that will decide her own life or death.

In Only the Bold, the epic finale to The Way of Steel series, Royce finds him transformed after looking into the magic mirror. Has he gained the ultimate wisdom? Or has he gone mad? The mirror reveals many secrets, and Royce finds himself heading towards his father’s hiding place. Will he meet his father for the first time? Genevieve and Royce’s tragic romance finally comes to a head, culminating in a surprise twist that will change both of their lives forever.
