''King's Heir: Rise to the Throne'', sometimes known as ''Kingmaker: Rise to the Throne'', is a {{Hidden Object|Game}} AdventureGame developed by Cordelia Games and published by Artifex Mundi.
Brothers Edmund and Randall Ulmer, royal squires, return from a hunting trip with their King only to discover he has been assassinated, with the brothers pinned as the culprits. With no heirs in sight, the Kingdom of Griffinvale falls into chaos as conspirators try to take over while others try to rebel. Forced to separate and go on the run, their quest to clear their names uncovers secrets of the kingdom. Only the rightful heir can save the kingdom, but first, he must be found.

!!This game contains examples of:
* AchievementSystem: There are several achievements in the game, from collecting all the collectibles, to solving puzzles in certain amounts of time.
* AncientArtifact: The crown of the first King, which legend says is enchanted.
* BlackCloak: William is pictured wearing one when he [[spoiler:takes baby Randall away and gives him to the Ulmer family]].
* CanonName: Technically you can name the protagonist whatever you want, as his name is never mentioned in-game, however, the preset name is Edmund, and he is referred to by that name in all the game summaries and walkthroughs.
* DeathByChildbirth: Rose, [[spoiler:Randall's birth mother]], dies giving birth.
* FrameUp: The plot begins with the Ulmer brothers framed for the King's murder.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: [[spoiler:The Queen turns out to be the leader of the coup, and her short solo reign throws the kingdom into chaos]].
* HangingAround: At one point Edmund is hanged, although the attempt is unsuccessful.
* HeartsAreHealth: In some of the fights against conspirator knights, their health is represented by three hearts. They lose a heart each time you successfully complete a puzzle.
* HiddenBackupPrince: [[spoiler:Randall was raised secretly by one of the King's advisors (without even the King knowing) in a fishing village]].
* HiddenObjectGame: Some of the puzzles are hidden object types.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The King realizes that his decision to have his son lead a crusade so he could exile his son's commoner wife without him knowing directly resulted in the Prince's death. This led to him mourning and stricken with guilt for decades, allowing the kingdom to grow weak and others to manipulate him.
* NominalImportance: Only Badrick, Edmund, Randall, Rose and William are named. [[spoiler:Rose dies, but the others live]]. [[spoiler:Every unnamed character dies]].
* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: The griffin that Griffinvale is named for appears to be a classical version, except it lacks the ears they are known for.
* ParentalAbandonment: The Ulmer brothers' father is dead, their mother is never seen, and [[spoiler:Randall's birth parents, the Prince and Rose,]] are also both dead.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: The King was against the Prince marrying a commoner, but the Prince married her anyway against his father's wishes. This led to the King exiling the girl behind his son's back.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: [[spoiler:Randall is revealed to be the lost Prince]].
* {{Regicide}}: The king is killed by his own guards.
* RightfulKingReturns: [[spoiler:The end of the game is Randall becoming King of Griffinvale]].
