A prince, a mystery, and a fragile will to carry on

Sixteen-year-old Royce’s partial precognition is one burden; his wish to disappear is another. After a suicide attempt leads to hospitalization, he tries to conceal how he feels until he can return home. While confined, he encounters a mystery whose possible consequences reach beyond his own life. The story brings that investigation together with Royce’s depression, his therapist, a team of misfits, and a formidable great-aunt, placing personal survival alongside the fate of his kingdom. The publisher description also gives the narrative an epistolary classification, signaling a story presented through forms such as letters or diaries.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young adult fiction about depression and survival.
  • Readers who enjoy mysteries involving personal and wider stakes.
  • Readers interested in epistolary storytelling.

Book overview

Sixteen-year-old Royce is a prince with a problem.

He is burdened with the gift of partial precognition. Oh, and he wants to disappear. Forever.

After his latest attempt at self-deletion lands him in the hospital, he decides to fake it until he makes it home. A plan that should be so foolproof, any idiot could do it. But not Royce. Never Royce.

During his confinement, he stumbles upon a mystery that he isn't sure is real, the implications of which go far beyond him and his depression.

With his ragtag team of similarly broken misfits, his therapist, and a terrifying great-aunt, he has to answer just one small question: can he make himself care enough to save his will to live and his kingdom in time for ice cream cake on July 14th?
