for fiction fantasy lovers like me, have a novel like this is really satisfying. because, this book is not like others book. it has a twist that is very hard to guessed. the cover is interesting too, especially for me. the cover with black background is very cool. the title which written with gold make it more elegant. the crown in the middle of the cover make people asking, what is the story that hidden in the back of this crown?. do you want to know? okay i will tell you the summary.
this story begin from a little city called charcar. there was boy who like to steal. he was so sneaky, but actually he also clever. he lived in the orphanage with bad owner named Mrs. Turlbeldy. he grown up in the rough environment. he was often didn't get enough food for a day in the orphanage. probably, that's why he like to steal. he called SAGE. but, his life changed when a nobleman named Conner and his servants came to orphanage, looking for him. to bought him ,exactly. indeed, sage refuse it but the nobleman forced Sage to follow him. because, they scared if sage run away so they hit sage in the head. after that he take to the horse train with bounded legs and hand.
he waked up, he realized that there are three boys like him. he asking, what Conner want to do with him? when they resting in the meadow, the nobleman explain his plan and ask them to leave if they were not brave enough. but, latamer was killed by the servants when he gonna leave them. and it's made them shock for a while.

Sage didn't want it ,but everybody knows if there is someone refuse ,his life will ended like Latamer . he was in the hard position. since the dinner , Tobias (the smart boy) , Roden (the strong boy), and Sage (.....) tried to beat each others for get attention from Conner so that they could choosen as the next prince. till the day came, Sage who was choosen to became a prince by Conner. all servants in the farthenwood said that he was truly same as prince Jaden. but, Mott the one of Conner servant know the secret which hide by sage. Sage, is the lost prince. the prince who said by people that he died because killed by pirates. . Sage asked Mott to keep the secret.
when they arrived in front of the palace. the guards didn't give them permission to enter in the palace. because too many nobles that said if they were with the prince. then, Sage ask to conner, Mott, roden and others to passed the back door from the dirty culvert. after they reach the palace, in front of dozens of nobles, Sage admitted that he was the truly prince. with all his encourage, he persuade the people inside to believe that he was Jaden. told them about his childhood, the ability to playing coin in the fingers until he showed his swords that hidden under his bed. and one things for sure, Sage asked the adviser to open the letter that his father give to him. finally, all people trust to him and Sage sent Conner to the prison because he tried to kill Sage on the Ship with asked the pirates.
you know what? this is cool story. with the forward plot and flashback in the end of the story make it interesting. this story doesn't confusing the readers. this story really tense, but also entertaining. moreover, the twist that make me say "oh my goodness! i don't believe it". you should read this one, and feel the sensation. you will not regret because you'll be inside the book :)
