內容簡介
The False PrinceFour boys. One treacherous plan. An entire kingdom to fool.In a faraway land, civil war is brewing. To unify his kingdom’s divided people, a nobleman named Conner devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king’s long-lost son and install him on the throne. Four orphans are forced to compete for the role, including a defiant and clever boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner’s motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword’s point—he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. His rivals will be devising their own plots as well, so Sage must trust no one and keep his thoughts hidden.As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner’s sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of deceit unfolds, until finally, a truth is revealed that may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.The Runaway KingA kingdom teetering on the brink of destruction.

Soon, it becomes clear that deserting the kingdom may be his only hope of saving it. But the further Jaron is forced to run from his identity, the more he wonders if it is possible to go too far. Will he ever be able to return home again? Or will he have to sacrifice his own life in order to save his kingdom?The stunning second installment of The Ascendance Trilogy takes listeners on a roller coaster ride of treason and murder, thrills and peril, as they journey with the Runaway King.The Shadow ThroneJennifer A.

簡譯：假王子四個男孩。一個背信棄義的計畫。整個王國都在愚弄。在遙遠的土地上，內戰正在醞釀。為了統一王國分裂的人民，一位名叫康納的貴族想出了一個狡猾的計畫，找到一個模仿國王失散多年的兒子的人，讓他登上王位。四個孤兒被迫競爭這個角色，其中包括一個名叫Sage的叛逆而聰明的男孩。Sage知道Conner的動機是值得懷疑的，但他的生活平衡在一把劍上——他必須被選中扮演王子，否則他肯定會被殺。他的對手也會設計自己的陰謀，所以薩奇必須不信任任何人，並隱藏自己的想法。當Sage從一個破舊的孤兒院搬到Conner豪華的宮殿時，一層又一層的欺騙開始了，直到最後，一個真相被揭露，這個真相很可能比所有謊言加在一起更危險。逃亡的國王一個搖搖欲墜的王國在毀滅的邊緣。一位國王失蹤了。誰能活下來？就在賈倫登基幾周后，一次暗殺企圖迫使他陷入致命境地。關於即將爆發戰爭的傳言在城堡的牆上盤旋，Jaron感覺到Carthya內部的壓力正在悄悄增加。很快，很明顯，逃離王國可能是他拯救王國的唯一希望。但賈倫越是被迫逃離自己的身份，他就越想知道是否有可能走得太遠。他還能回家嗎？或者他會為了拯救他的王國而犧牲自己的生命嗎？《上升三部曲》令人驚嘆的第二部帶著聽眾踏上了叛逆與謀殺、驚悚與危險的過山車之旅，就像他們與逃亡之王的旅程一樣。《影子王座》詹妮弗·a·尼爾森在《紐約時報》和《今日美國》暢銷書《上升三部曲》的最後一部中帶著聽眾走上了一段非同尋常的旅程。戰爭來到了Carthya。它敲遍了大地上的每一扇門窗。當Jaron得知Avenia國王Vargan綁架了Imogen，密謀讓Carthya屈服時，Jaron知道應該由他來執行一項大膽的救援任務。但一切可能出錯的事情都會發生。他的朋友遍布迦太亞及其鄰國。為了避免王國遭受毀滅性的損失，Jaron進行了可能是他最後一次拯救他所愛的一切和每一個人的旅程。但即使憑藉閃電般的智慧，賈倫也無法阻止降臨在他和他的國家身上的可怕危險。一路走來，他會失去最重要的東西嗎？最終，誰將坐上迦太亞的寶座？
