The story: When an encounter in the lost treasure cave of Julius Caesar unexpectedly endows mining slave Nic with magic powers, he doesn't realize his life is about to change forever. And as hard and dangerous as life was under the whip, it suddenly becomes more treacherous than ever before as everyone he meets tries to lay claim to his magic to further their own causes. And since Nic doesn't yet know how to use it, it seems just as likely to end up killing him as any other outcome. Can he learn to use it well enough to secure his own freedom, and then find and free his sister? Not if evil General Radulf has anything to say about it!
June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence PG-13; Sexual content G; Nudity G; substance abuse PG; magic & the occult PG; GLBT content G; adult themes (being orphaned/sold into slavery; betrayal) PG; overall rating PG (this is a content rating; the historical setting and mentions of Roman mythology might render it better for grades 7-up).
Liz's comments: Although its historical setting makes it a little different from Nielsen's Ascendance Trilogy, readers who liked "The False Prince" will like her new series as well.
