A modern classic by #1New York Times bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen, The False Prince thrills with wild twists and turns, danger and deceit, and the revelation of hidden identities that will have readers rushing breathlessly to the end.
In a discontented kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant 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. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.
As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.
Read the book that started it all #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen weaves a thrilling tale of grand adventure, intrigue, and treason packed with battles of wits and wills in this rollercoaster of a read.

I love this book! Everything is so exciting and unexpected! And best of all, very sarcastic! I would not recommend this book to anyone younger than 16 though. It has some violence and he refers to the devils very often.
I LOVE this book. I remember reading it in middle school, but I must not have finished it because it’s amazing. It is intriguing and light and playful and kept me on my toes. I was so grateful I had already bought the next two books so that I could keep reading!!
This book is a really good book and a really good series if you haven’t read it I highly recommend reading it but there were creases all over, it also had stickers on it , and there were also a bunch of nicks in it as well I would not rate this book very good condition which was supposed to be the condition I got it in.
I can't say enough good things about this series. My 12 year old son loves it and so do I. The main character is so likable and funny. I'm very thankful to have a book series that my son and I can both enjoy together.
I haven’t really sat down and read books in a long time and I just devours this entire series and I’m a grown adult woman 🤣. It really gets you hooked on the first page. It’s the perfect blend of thought provoking character development and thrilling action and adventure. I would not recommend this for younger kids because there is some violence. Although not graphic, it just has some adult themes (like death and physical abuse, future books in the series have war) No romance in this book although future books do have some, but not graphic. I’d say appropriate for 14+ The series is incredibly thought out and every book has something I never expected. Definitely not a cookie cutter, predictable kind of book. It’s exciting and I never know what’s coming next! Can’t recommend this book enough!
The False Prince has such lovable characters. The plot is interesting and engaging all the way through, I never got bored. It's wonderfully unpredictable. The rest of the series shares the glorious nature, and I recommend the series more than anything.
