In a discontent kingdom, civil war is brewing. To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince. Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point -- he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. But Sage's rivals have their own agendas as well.
As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of treachery and deceit unfold, until finally, a truth is revealed that, in the end, may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lies taken together.
An extraordinary adventure filled with danger and action, lies and deadly truths that will have readers clinging to the edge of their seats.

This is an awesome book.
I am not only in love with this book, but its sequel as well. It's absolutely amazing!
It's one of those books that you keep reading until you reach the end. It's a well-written story and I really like the characters, especially Sage.
BEST book ever!! Fue increible.
This book was a terrific read. The author, Jennifer A. Nielsen, thought the book throughout, and left no space for me to ask questions about anything. I love all the characters in this book. It's mainly about four orphans, who noble man, Connor, brought with him to his house. Connor plans to replace the lost prince, who was believed to be dead, with one of his orphans, and so it's a battle for the throne between the boys. I think it's a wonderful read, with action mixed in. Everyone will enjoy it. X-D
i think it was the best book that i have ever red i am a big big fan and i had so meny emotions wen i read it ^-^
The Ascendance Trilogy is my FAVORITE series! This is one of the best books you will ever find!!!
Best book ever! The story tossed my emotions around with no mercy. Each time I read The False Prince I'm literally gripping the book so hard. This is one book you should read if life gets dull.
I wanted to read this book because I loved medieval times. this book is not about medieval times, but it is about a prince who is supposedly "killed" but he escapes into a disguise. Will someone find him? read The False Prince to find out.
