Book description
Five-year-old Cassius escaped the brutal assassination of his
parents, the king and queen of Malonia, and was exiled to modern-day
England. Now fifteen, Cassius continues to be hidden in England under
the protection of his tutor, the great Alderbaran, who's ancient
prophecy says that Cassius will, one day, return and claim his
rightful place on the throne.
At the same time, fifteen-year-old Leo remains in Malonia where a
repressive dictatorial regime under the new king, Lucien, followed the
assassination. One day Leo discovers a wonderful book in which parts
of an epic story appear each day - a remarkable story that reveals the
secrets of the prophecy, the assassination and how they are connected
to Leo's own family history.
Catherine is now eighteen years old and has just finished her A
Levels. She lives in Cambridge with her mother and younger sister.
