    Summary

    In the year 1403, the Kingdom of Aelston hailed 16 year old Prince Paul McCartney as its golden heir, beloved by the people for his charm, beauty, and gentle nature. Behind the castle’s walls, Paul feels less like a prince and more like a prisoner, suffocated by courtly rituals and a life planned down to the last bow and smile. Now of age to ride beyond the gates, he aches to see the world his crown will one day rule, not through reports and gossip, but with his own eyes. Beyond the castle, in the shadowed alleys of Caerwynd Lower Quarter, 18 year old John Lennon makes his own rules. Born into poverty and hardened by the streets, John has no love for the monarchy that taxes his people and fills the lords’ coffers. He’s a thief and a rebel who sees the crown as a gilded parasite. The prince and the pauper, through odd circumstances, meet face-to-face, with neither expecting what follows: a secret alliance that becomes an unlikely bond of friendship and love. Paul finds in John a guide to the kingdom’s hidden life; John finds in Paul someone who listens, who sees him as more than a thief. But every step beyond the gates is a risk, and if the wrong eyes discover them, it could cost Paul his crown and John his head.
