Classic children's adventure
The Lost Prince
Young Marco Loristan lives in disguise with his father, a secretive exile determined to free the fictional kingdom of Samavia from tyranny. A coded message and an unexpected friendship send Marco and the clever street boy known as The Rat into a dangerous search for allies. Their mission demands courage, secrecy, and trust while both boys are still learning what patriotism means. Sweeping and adventurous, this novel suits a rainy afternoon for readers who enjoy hidden identities, resistance movements, loyal friendships, and a child discovering that brave work can begin before adulthood.
