But when Tobiah takes a rare opportunity to escape a courtly celebration and he witnesses a horrible-and magical-crime, he must make a momentous decision: return to the ignorance and comfort of the palace, or risk everything to discover the truth? His only chance for freedom is if his cousin, James Rayner, passes the trials to be one of his bodyguards. Tobiah Pierce knows he is a spoiled, sheltered prince, and he's tired of it. Told from the perspective of Tobiah, the crown prince with a dangerous secret, and set two years before the heart-racing action of The Orphan Queen, this 100-page digital novella brings to life one of Jodi Meadows's most beloved characters.
