When Lucas awakens disoriented one morning on a riverbank, he has no memory of the evening before, and evidence of a poisoned dart is visible on his neck. Although Lucas is now undoubtedly someone's target, when King Itan asks him to spy on a rival ruler, Lucas readily obeys.

During his dangerous journey, young Lucas will be reunited with his friends in the traveling circus, escape a dreadful attack, and learn the truth of his existence. But when a plot by the maniacal King Boran to seize control of Itan's land is discovered, and Lucas experiences the loss of a friend, he realizes that the only way to save his people will be to surrender himself to the enemy.

​Lucas can only hope that King Boran won't kill him--believing the prophecy that anyone who kills Lucas will also perish. This page-turner will leave you breathless as Lucas fights to fulfill his destiny.
