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 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.

This book wasn't my favorite because I don't like the idea of orphans killing other children to become King. I'm not sure I would read another book in the series, but somebody else might like the book.
