In the Royal States of America, magic rules all, but lifeâand loveâalways finds a way. Latent horse empath. Dishwasher. Closet chef. Future king. When food poisoning sweeps through Dallas, Patrick Laycal doesn't expect a princess to show up at his door asking for his help. Her one, simple request dumps him in the middle of a Royal messâone that could cost him far more than just his life. Storm Called features characters first introduced in Null & Void, the first of the Royal States novels.
