The Lost Heir

Highest: #440 in adventure// The royal family of Aristol has been murdered. The country is in turmoil. The only surviving heirs to the throne are a seven year old prophetic girl and the king's cousin, who is a puppet for an enemy country. The Duke of Tarabell knows the country is doomed and threat of war is imminent. In a desperate ply to preserve his country he turns to the past when, five years earlier, the king's fifth son vanished at sea.

Rumors plague the street, daring people to hope. If the Prince is alive not only could the country avoid a civil war, but also unite against a larger, greater threat, spoken of only in whispers. But stories surrounding the prince are riddled with lies and misconceptions. With nothing but these stories and a name, the Duke hunts down a young and in-famed boy called Saber, who claims to know the truth about what happened to the Prince.

But Saber and his friends are much more dangerous than expected and, as the Duke, Saber, and their companions journey to find the missing prince, they all learn a very important lesson: Nothing is as it seems.
