The Lost Dauphin; Book One

By W LEE ELLISON

Book One: Episodes 1-6

Born into splendor, Louis-Charles-the Dauphin of France-has never known a life beyond palace walls, servants, and ceremony. He is a prince destined to inherit a crown, yet sheltered from the hardships of the world beyond the gates.

That changes when his path crosses with Deupaul, a poor boy whose life has been shaped by hunger, hardship, and quiet endurance. The two boys could not be more different-one raised in privilege, the other in survival-but an unexpected bond begins to form between them.

As unrest stirs in France and whispers of revolution grow louder, Louis-Charles is forced to confront realities he has never been taught to see. Through friendship, shared trials, and moments of moral awakening, he begins to understand that leadership is not inherited-it is earned through compassion, courage, and sacrifice.

The Lost Dauphin: Book One gathers Episodes 1 through 6 of this richly imagined historical adventure, introducing young readers to a world of danger, loyalty, and heart. It is a story about friendship across boundaries, the cost of injustice, and the quiet power of doing what is right-even when the world is changing.

Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction, adventure, and stories where character matters as much as courage, The Lost Dauphin opens a journey that will challenge, inspire, and linger long after the final page.
