Synopsis
Not Really the Prisoner of Zenda is the tenth and final novel in the Guardians of the Flame series. Kethol, Pirojil and Erenor continue to serve Jason Cullinane, a former king trying to convince warring factions that he has no interest in reclaiming his crown. Their duties range from foiling conspiracies against Jason's life to rescuing nobles in distress, but the three soldiers' latest assignment forces Kethol into a disguise not of his choosing as part of a complicated scheme that could leave them dead, or unexpectedly elevate them to positions of real power within the kingdom they have spent years protecting.
