Overview

Five royal champions embark on a quest to break the curse on a haunted forest!

But one of them is lying about their identity.

Trey is the Prince of Bane’s son from before his marriage. At least, that’s what he claimed when he showed up on Brendon’s doorstep twelve years ago. In truth, Trey is the son of an evil mage determined to destroy the defense spell protecting the Desolated Lands.

Now it’s Trey’s mission to lead the royal champions right into the evil mage’s trap—even if it means betraying the family who raised him. To assist him with this mission, the evil mage has sent along his apprentice, an arrogant and mysterious young man who is as enticing as he is frustrating.

While fighting monsters and outwitting magical traps, Trey must untangle his ties between his blood family and his found family. Will he choose to complete his mission? Or will he become the person he’s always pretended to be?
