Suspense, action, intrigue. If you need a book that has these kinds of elements then this will be a book for you. I totally got into this book last Saturday (when we were having that freak snow storm). It had been a while since I had really gotten into a historical fiction - but this one had the kind of pacing that kept the story rolling right along. And just enough to keep you guess and hoping that your right.
Here's the summary from the book jacket:
The thrilling first book in a brand new trilogy, filled with danger, deceit,and hidden identities that will have readers rushing breathlessly to the end.
In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Connor, 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 Connor'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 Connor'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 to be more dangerous than all the lies taken together.
Here's the book trailer.
