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 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. An extraordinary adventure filled with danger and action, lies and deadly truths that will have readers clinging to the edges of their seats.

"The Good:
- Good for falling asleep or reading something mindless or fun if you've been reading heavy content recently.
- Though I saw the plot twist coming, and at first it kind of bothered me, it settled in nicely and made for a good sense of delivery of justice and satisfying ending.
The Bad:
- The character development was lacking. Only a couple of characters had anything substantial going for them and a couple of them I didn't even really remember their names or who they were until far into the book.
- The non-linear timeline needed some work. There were times where it felt like the main character basically "lied" to reader about events to make it so that the author could reveal happened differently at a later point. And it was a frustrating experience that left plot holes/contradictions.
- It's supposed to be a series, but it wrapped up so well at the end and was such a meaningless little story with no substance or good characters to care about that I didn't feel like reading the rest."
