![]() There's no magic or magical creatures involved. I'm tempted to call this action-packed book #1 of a planned trilogy a fantasy, but that's not quite right. He has no wish to be chosen to impersonate the prince yet he chooses not to attempt escape, though he does escape his room nightly to roam the castle discovering its nooks and crannies and secret passages. Sage feels equal parts revulsion and intrigue over Conner's plans. Sage claims this is treason, Conner claims he's saving Carthya. Jaron was the youngest child who disappeared four years earlier and, while presumed dead, his body was recovered. Conner hopes to train the boys to impersonate Prince Jaron. ![]() Once they arrive at Conner's castle, they learn that the royal family of the kingdom of Carthya have been poisoned but this news has been suppressed. When one of the boys is brutally murdered, the remaining boys, including Sage, are cowed into submission. They all take an instant dislike to Sage. It turns out he is not the only orphan purchased by Conner, three other boys are more or less more willing purchases. Sage is not interested in being part of this transaction he mouths off and attempts escape many times. ![]() We meet him as he is purchased from his orphanage by a nobleman named Conner. This story is narrated by a snarky, sarcastic fourteen-year-old orphan named Sage. Unabridged audiobook on 7 compact discs, 8 hours, 14 minutes. ![]()
