If they fail, he’ll die a prisoner right under his father’s nose, and no one will ever know the truth. If they can outwit the warden and survive the arena, Javan just might have the chance to save his father and the kingdom and give Sajda back her freedom. The only person who can help him is the prickly Sajda, a girl enslaved by the warden since she was a child, who carries a deadly secret of her own. The only way to gain an audience with the king and unveil the truth about his identity is to fight in Maqbara’s annual tournament, but when winning means facing terrifying beasts in the arena, as well as a band of prisoners intent on killing him, Javan realizes the odds of coming out alive are not in his favor. But when a mysterious imposter takes his place, no one believes Javan is the true prince, and he finds himself thrown into Maqbara, the most dangerous prison in Akram. He can take pride in who he is and what he’s accomplished, knowing his father is proud of him and knowing he’s prepared to be the best ruler he possibly can be for his people. If he can do that, he can go home to his father, the King of Akram. Javan Najafai has spent the last 10 years at an elite boarding school with only one goal in mind - to fulfill his mother’s dying wish.
