A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD SELECTION!
A boy who underestimates his power . . .
A girl with a gift long thought lost . . .
A Land ready for revolution . . .
The heir to the Land should be strong. Fierce. Ruthless. At least, that's what Beau's father has been telling him his whole life, since Beau is the exact opposite of what the heir should be. With little control over his future, Beau is kept locked away, just another pawn in his father's quest for ultimate power.
That is, until Beau meets a girl who shows him the secrets his father has kept hidden. For the first time, Beau begins to question everything he's ever been told and sets off in search of a rebel who might hold the key to setting things right.
Teaming up with a fiery runaway boy, their mission quickly turns into something far greater as sinister forces long lurking in the shadows prepare to make their final move--no matter what the cost. But it just might be Beau who wields the power he seeks . . . if he can go from pawn to player before the Land tears itself apart.
- Secret Powers: Beau's father is a ruthless tyrant, but the true power in the Land might be the magic Beau never knew he had.
- Found Family: To uncover the truth, Beau must team up with a mysterious girl with a lost gift and a fiery runaway boy on an epic quest.
- A Land in Turmoil: From the oppressive Mastery House to the whispers of rebellion on the streets, the Land is ready to tear itself apart.
- A Game of Pawns and Kings: Inspired by a forbidden strategy game, Beau must learn to go from a helpless pawn to a revolutionary player before it's too late.
