The Boy in the Dungeon

A new king has taken over the kingdom of Karthage. He is cruel and rules with an iron thumb and anyone who disobeys is to be arrested, tried, and executed.
Deep in the castle the new king takes out his frustrations on his children. They are to obey, no questions asked. His eldest son, a boy of 8 with hair as dark as the midnight sky and eyes of sapphire, tries to escape the hell that is the castle. Hes caught by the king and as a punishment he's cursed and locked in the dungeon. 10 years pass and the cursed prince has long since been forgotten. So when another young man gets himself arrested for using magic in the town center and is captured and thrown in the dungeon he meets a boy, who he has more in common with than he thought.
