Book one in the "Ascendance" trilogy, The False Prince does not disappoint. In
a country where monarchy still reigns, a civil war is close to occurring and
nobleman Connor will do anything he can to prevent that. After finding out that
the King’s family has died, he takes on the responsibility of coming up with an
idea to prevent the war and find a suitable person to take the throne. Connor’s
idea is dangerous and filled with treason. He needs four boys to pretend to be
the “long lost” Prince Jaron. He searches orphanages until he finds four
teenage boys suitable for the challenge. The rules of his challenge are simple:
one boy will become the next crowned prince; the other three will be killed.
This book is filled with excitement and danger as Connor trains these boys and
molds them into the Prince they need to be. Through rigorous horseback riding,
sword fighting, dining, and history lessons Connor creates boys who should be
ready to take the throne.
This book was incredibly fast paced and full of
action to keep you on your seat. It was filled with plot twists that kept the
pages turning. I am a big fan of fantasy and would recommend this book to
anyone interested in that genre.
