The Prince Who Wasn’t

By Tom Kelly

Prince Alistair Thorne has spent his life in the spotlight - adored, scrutinised, and shaped into the perfect heir. But when a scandal erupts and he's exiled to a remote royal estate, the silence becomes suffocating. The staff watch him too closely. His calls go unanswered. And an anonymous number keeps sending messages that feel less like warnings and more like instructions.
Then Alistair overhears a secret meeting that shatters everything he believes:
the palace is planning to remove him from the line of succession... permanently.
Forced to flee, Alistair uncovers a truth buried for twenty-five years - he was never the Queen's son at all, but a stolen child used to replace a royal heir who died in infancy. Hunted by the monarchy that raised him and betrayed by the bloodline he thought was his own, Alistair must outrun a lethal faction determined to erase him before the truth reaches the world.
His only allies: a brother who risks everything to save him, a family he never knew existed, and a stranger who has been guiding him from the shadows.
His only chance: cross the border before the crown closes its grip.
His only question:
If he was never meant to be a prince...
then who was he meant to be?
A high-stakes royal thriller about identity, power, and the price of truth - perfect for fans of political intrigue, runaway royals, and heart-pounding conspiracies.
