Knights, above all else, are loyal to the royal court and their kingdom: not to cute boys they see in passing. However, Nico di Angelo isn't a knight-not yet, anyway. He's been a squire since he was 14, attending to every need of the drunken, arrogant knight, Hades. Now after years of being on the bottom ranks of the palace, he's got only one year left of being the perfect apprentice until he can finally become a knight. That was before the King of Apolla and an array of knights went missing. With no one to protect the royal family, Hades rises up the ranks, and unfortunately, so does Nico. This should be a blessing, and it would be to any squire, if it weren't for the impossible Crown Prince William: a spoiled, irritatingly handsome, immature scoundrel who just won't shut up. The one rule is to keep Will safe as the scion. However, the rule didn't account for his unpredictability and visions of heroic grandeur-Will's determined to find his dad, even if it kills him, and has a sparkling preposition to offer Nico for his assistance. Nico's willing to do whatever it takes to squash the boy's dreams and send him crying back home to his momma. The two find themselves on a riveting adventure across the land of Olympia-running into unlikely characters, getting into endless trouble, and finding passions outside of a future thought to be set in stone. And of course, figuring out love could be right under your nose the entire time. -Tangled inspired-
