Summary
Henry is seventeen, with one year to decide if he will follow the path of royalty or step up to pursue his own dreams. But trapped in his golden cage, he doesn't know if he had the time to create any.
As he grapples with questions about his country's future, mental health, and addiction, the family bonds weaken under secrets, and his path collides with Nasir—an irreverent student decided to shake the monarchy. The two boys stumble together, trying to fly free from their family heritage. But the cage is vaster than Henry thought, and high in the sky, a bird of prey is watching.
"Henry fled America yesterday. He made the right decision. He knows the broken heart he left behind is better off scarred forever than trapped in the cold stones he grew up in.
He thinks about the summer he learned that lesson. A summer filled with tears, cypress scent and grief. A summer sweet, filled with first times and music and food.
The summer, he learned how to lose people."Series
