We have achieved Title for the second book:  Kings of the North was a clear winner with Editor and Marketing, I heard Friday.   Now to  put the correct title on the header line of all the chapters now titled “Kieri II”.  I’m not at all sure that KOTN has the same appeal as LOTR.

Editors on both sides of the Atlantic and their respective powers that be (upstairs, the suits, the bean-counters) have agreed, so Oath of Fealty is now the official (until something breaks) title.

The comment from someone upstairs at Del Rey (“upstairs” is a hierachal terms, in this instance, not  architectural)  was that this title would work if we weren’t trying to go outside the core audience.  Which I’m not, though the Paks books have pulled in some very interesting readers.
