Sage knows Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a swords point ---- he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. his rivals will be devising their own plots as well, so Sage must trust no one and keep his thoughts hidden. as Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer uopn layer of deciet unfolds, until finally, a trusth is revealed that may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together. Jennifer A. Nielsen has woven a heart-racing tale full of danger and bold adventure, lies and deadly truths that will keep readers in the edge of their seats,"

"Hail His Majesty the scourge of my life," Conner said to Roden and Tobias as he stomped up the stairs. 

"I fear the devils no longer, because I have the worst one right here in my home!"

"If I had to do it all over again, I would not have chosen this life. Then again, I'm not sure I ever had a choice,"

"Unfortunatly I understood exactly what she meant. Nobody should have to bow to a false prince,"

"What do I care about sportsmanship? If I'm about to get killed it's not play anymore. I won't check the rules to see if my survival fits with someones code book of fair play,"

"Valuable lessons were coded pain no one apologized for,"

Wow! This book changed my life as I know it! Sage's sassy, mischievious personality is my favorite, and it really adds hilarious humor to the story. There are so many twist and turns, and then the HUGE plot twist towards the end (No spoilers)! I couldn't put the book down and finished it in one day. 

Jennifer Nielsen really impressed me, and now I want to see more that she has made. This book is definetly my favorite for the Ascendance Series, and leaves you asking: "Theres another? Where can I get it? How soon? TELL ME!!" If you like funny, mysterious, action-packed, storys that keep you on the edge of your seat for more, this is a book that will give you happiness! The Ascendance Series is my favorite book(s) but this one is my favorite of the series!!! I read it in Janurary? Idk, around there. YOU SHOULD READ IT

I recommend for ages 12-Adults, and rate it a 10/10!
