A dark epic illusion inspired from the Prince and the Pauper as well as the fairy tale The False Prince, from bestselling author C. J. Redwine. Ideal for fans of the Courtroom of Thorns and Roses series and the Wrath and the Dawn duology, The Traitor Prince is a thrilling fresh standalone book in the Ravenspire series.

Javan Najafai, crown prince of Akram, has spent the final ten years at at the very top boarding school, a long way away from his kingdom. But his eagerly awaited return home is certainly cut short whenever a mystical about The Traitor Prince impostor requires his place-and nobody believes Javan may be the true prince.

After hardly escaping the impostor’s assassins, Javan is thrown into Maqbara, the kingdom’s most dangerous prison. The only path to gain an audience using the king-and reveal Javan’s identity-is to combat in Maqbara’s annual tournament. But earning is much harder than acing tournaments at college, and shortly Javan discovers himself beset not only by the terrifying animals in the arena but also with a music group of prisoners allied against him, and even from the warden herself.

The only one who can help him is Sajda, who has been enslaved by Maqbara’s warden since she was a kid, and whose guarded demeanor and powerful best hook keep carefully the prisoners in check. Working with Sajda may be the only path Javan can escape alive-but she has dangerous secrets.

Together, Javan and Sajda have to outwit the vicious warden, outfight fatal creatures, and outlast the murderous prisoners purpose on killing Javan. If indeed they fail, are going to captured in Maqbara for good-and the secret Sajda’s been concealing will bury them both.
