If you love the danger and sword-fighting of MERLIN, you'll like this! In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point - he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. As Sage's journey continues, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally a truth is revealed that proves more dangerous than all of the lies put together.

"<strong>Yah, it was good</strong><br/><br/>It took a little for the story to get going but at around two thirds into the book, I was attached and couldn't put it down. It reminded me a little bit of the Selection Series by Kiera Cass. I loved that series though btw. This first book made me interested in the next two but it wasn't my all time favorite."
