Synopsis

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.

• Middle Grade Fantasy Adventure: Perfect for young fantasy readers who love sprawling worlds, forbidden magic, and a hero’s quest against his own powerful father.
• A Classic Found Family: A lonely heir, a girl with a mysterious gift, and a fiery runaway must learn to trust each other to spark a rebellion.
• A Rich Magic System: Discover the world of ‘charmers,’ a people with a gift long thought lost, and the political intrigue that surrounds their forbidden powers.
• Social Justice for Kids: A thought-provoking story about standing up to tyranny, questioning authority, and fighting for those who have no voice.
