In a discontented 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 listeners clinging to the edges of their seats.

And don't miss the highly anticipated fourth book in the series, The Captive Kingdom, coming October 2020!

Entertaining for the whole family!

I really liked this story but I think the performance was underwhelming with female characters. Also sometimes it was hard to tell the characters apart.

It gives you a sense of mystery and the crazy world of Carthia! I think I have listened to this book and the other ones in the series too much to count. It feels like you are watching a movie of this! The narration is also soo fun because it gives a feeling of Jargon’s playfulness! Overall it is an amazing book, great for all ages!
