Summary: 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 (Jaron) or he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.
Violence and gore: Almost every single fantasy book will have violence and gore, because there are swords, and people are stabbed. The main character is severely beaten four times, and someone is shot with an arrow.
Morals: The character go through some rough stuff, from verbal abuse to betrayal, and have to learn to persevere through the trials, and come out stronger.
Boys, 9-12 years old, fantasy
