A struggle for the throne in Nihon-Ja

When Horace travels to Nihon-Ja, a conflict over the throne draws him into the fate of a kingdom. The emperor, described as a defender of ordinary people, has been overthrown, and restoring him becomes the purpose of Horace, Will, and their Araluen companions. The outcome rests with a group of fighters who lack experience, while the journey also raises the question of who will make it back to Araluen. The book combines a fantasy kingdom in political turmoil with a campaign led by a small band of allies, placing loyalty and the costs of taking sides alongside the struggle for power.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young fantasy readers interested in kingdoms and battles
  • Readers who enjoy stories about companions joining a cause beyond their homeland
  • Fans of John Flanagan’s Araluen setting

Book overview

The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone!
When Horace travels to the exotic land of Nihon- Ja, it isn't long before he finds himself pulled into a battle that is not his - but one he knows in his heart he must wage. A kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos when the Nihon-Ja emperor, a defender of the common man, is forcibly overthrown, and only Horace, Will, and his Araluen companions can restore the emperor to the throne. Victory lies in the hands of an inexperienced group of fighters, and it's anybody's guess who will make the journey home to Araluen.

Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini's Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.
