The False Prince

The False Prince is the 1st book of The Ascendance Series by Jennifer A. Nielsen. 

I enjoyed this series so much. It's full of action, adventure, excitement and so much more. 

 Jennifer A. Nielsen is one of favorite authors. She has so many great books. 

Here is the summery

In a discontented kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point -- he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.
