I have to say that this book was such a wonderment of imagination. Sebastian had no intention of playing the hero, but whoever is stirring up shit in his country will pay for destroying his quiet life.

On top of everything, Sebastian needs to save the day without revealing his magical powers and the real reason he hides his appearance. In order to prove it, Sebastian has to keep the prince alive long enough to discover the truth-a task made considerably harder because the idiot prince prefers wooing Sebastian over securing his own survival. Lord Orwell is a lot of things: thief, liar, drunk, and all around horrible father, but Sebastian knows he’s no murderer. Not only is Sebastian stuck with the prince’s unwanted affections, he’s also confronted by growing evidence linking the assassination attempt to someone from his father’s past. Unfortunately, the prince isn’t content with being alive, and he hunts Sebastian down to thank him personally. Sebastian Orwell did the only thing a smart wizard could do when he stumbled upon the wounded Crown Prince: he healed him and dumped him in a tavern where he could continue not being Sebastian’s problem.
