The only remaining island in the world, Belvidere is divided into four kingdoms: Kosta, Wickwolf, Lusk, and Uppica. An elusive horde of assassins called the Regicides have killed a staggering number of royals from all four. After his father's murder, Prince Ezra Wickwolf fears that he will be next - and so begins his escape to the warring kingdom of Kosta. Disguised as a pawn, he adopts the name Wick, delving deep into an unfamiliar world, slowly uncovering the secrets of Belvidere as it unfurls into chaos.
this was so interesting and poetic. the world-building is a+ and i became really attached to the characters. definitely looking forward to future books!!
