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. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.
As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.
An extraordinary adventure filled with danger and action, lies and deadly truths that will have readers clinging to the edge of their seats.

Bookworm1824 is funny! "This book was recommended to me by this cute nerdy kid and I loved it so much and that just made me crush on him harder!!" Is what she said. SO CUTE! :)
This book was recommended to me by this cute nerdy kid and I loved it so much and that just made me crush on him harder!!
I thought this book was one of the best books ever for me. The main character is a boy named Sage, he ran away from his parents at the age 11 only to be forced into an orphanage.Later he got piked up by a nobleman named Conner...
This is a very good book. With many surprises, lies and betrayals, you will probably not know what will happen.
This book was really good. But, I still haven't read the 2nd and 3rd ones yet though.
You should they are really good!
So Good and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
I highly recommend this great medieval tale. Sage is an orphan boy when Connor takes him and 3 other boys under his wing. What happens next will surprise them all.
