Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Prince Robert is King Philip's greatest challenge. Running a country is easy for Philip compared to dealing with his fifth-born willful, spontaneous son that is constantly into some kind of mischief. Although King Philip is a devoted family man, he is far too busy to maintain his tolerance, and Robert's escapades are dealt with swiftly; but the punishments do little to curb the boy's mischievous ways. Philip, needing a respite, sends Robert to live with one of his lesser kings, unknowingly setting in motion the tyrannical man's own hidden agenda that will forever change all their lives.
