Items related to The Eyes of a King
Five-year-old Cassius escaped the brutal assassination of his parents, the king and queen of Malonia, and was exiled to modern-day England. Now fifteen, Cassius continues to be hidden in England under the protection of his tutor, the great Alderbaran, who's ancient prophecy says that Cassius will, one day, return and claim his rightful place on the throne.
At the same time, fifteen-year-old Leo remains in Malonia where a repressive dictatorial regime under the new king, Lucien, followed the assassination. One day Leo discovers a wonderful book in which parts of an epic story appear each day - a remarkable story that reveals the secrets of the prophecy, the assassination and how they are connected to Leo's own family history.

Book Description:
An astonishingly sophisticated fantasty novel full of adventure, mystery, intrigue and magic from extraordinary new young talent, Catherine Banner.
From the Back Cover:
These are the last words I will write. 'Tell me everything from the beginning,' you said. 'Explain to me why you did it.' I have. There is nothing left to tell you any more.
Leo North has spent five years remembering. He has recalled the tediousness of attending military school and the oppressiveness of living with his pious, fearful grandmother and his younger brother. He has relived the moment when everything changed.
Five years ago, Leo found a blank book in the snow and was amazed when words started to appear on the pages. Passages wove together his family's past, the history of his country, Malonia - and that of a parallel world called England, where Ryan, the heir to the Malonian throne, had been exiled following the assassination of his parents.
At the same time, Leo's narrow path took some unexpected tragic turns and the mysterious book, initially an escape, became inextricably linked to him and his world. Leo has spent five years retracing his steps and filing in the blanks of the journey he made. This is Leo's story. This is the book.
Dark intrigue, murderous uprisings and unrelenting danger: enter the world created by the astonishing imagination of Catherine Banner.
