"War looms in a small forgotten eastern European country. But war is nothing new to Samavia. The once idyllic land has been in continual struggle since the last young rightful leader was smuggled across borders to prevent his death in a violent coupe centuries before. This lost prince, or his heirs, are possibly the only thing that can restore order and peace to a once vibrant land and people. But where have they disappeared to?
Two young boys are entrusted with a vital and dangerous task with the hopes of restoring the rightful ruler to the small country of Samavia. Will they be able to reach the war torn country and raise the support needed to reinstall the lost prince, should he be found?
The Lost Prince, originally published in 1915, is a superb work of action and intrigue for young and old alike. Marco Loristan and his companion Jem, 'The Rat' Ratcliffe must travel across Europe amid unknown dangers, and learn much about what it means to be dedicated to a cause worth fighting for.

"When a newly orphaned boy with a violin shows up in a small town, his unnique perspective transforms everyone.
When David comes on the scene, The Holly family, and much of the town, have done things for so long they don't even realize they are in a rut. David's innocence and naivete bring with it his own set of assumptions, opinions, and expectations. Because of the care his father had taken to keep him from the 'bad' – or painful – things in life, there is so much he can't even begin to fathom at first. The collision of these two worlds is what drives this story onward. David had never experienced poverty or wealth as most would think of it.
Join David as he discovers the world.
Originally published in 1916
