“The False Prince is the thrilling first book in a brand-new trilogy filled with danger and deceit and hidden identities that will have readers rushing breathlessly to the end.

Four orphans are recruited to compete for the role, including a defiant boy named Sage. Sage knows that Connerβs motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a swordβs point β he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed.

This series is a CIA, FBI, and military thriller yet all from a wholesome biblical perspective. Drew begins to see things others cannot.

My Heart Rating:
8- Samantha Sanderson by Robin Caroll
Official Description:
“Sam Sanderson is an independent, resourceful, high-tech cheerleader. She dreams of becoming an award-winning journalist like her mother, and so sheβs always looking for articles she can publish in her middle-school paper (where she secretly hopes to become editor). And with a police officer for a father, Sam is in no short supply for writing material.”

9- The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis
Official Description:
“Four adventurers step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.”

10- The Starlore Legacy by Chuck Black
Official Description:
“The Starlore Legacy is a futuristic allegory of the entire bible set in a far away galaxy. It is a galactic journey of battle, hope, promise, and victory. Beginning with the story of Moses, Nova expands the biblical account of the Jewish people to the cosmos. Each of the twelve books chronicles a specific period of time as recorded in the Bible. Spanning three generations of characters, this epic saga weaves a scientific fantastical story that captures the gospel of Jesus Christ in a fresh and wholesome way.”

Of course!!
Great post Bella! Also, how is book number 3, “a place to hang the moon” not a direct copycat of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe? Even the names Edmund and William are carried over! Unless it’s related to the narnia series? Regardless, my curiosity is now peaked!
Thank you!! Oh my goodness, I didn’t even think about that!!
How interesting! No it’s actually quite different from Narnia, and has nothing to do with it!
You should read it- I really enjoy it!
Great post! I love all of Chuck Blackβs knights series! Theyβre SO good. Have you read any of his other books?
I’ve read his Kingdom Series, and Knights books but beside that no I haven’t!! Should I?
Yes, you definitely should! I’m really enjoying The Starlore Legacy, his newest series. And the Wars of the Realm books are really good, and respectfully written with a Biblical mindset.
Oh that’s awesome! Yeah The Starlore Legacy is definitely on my TBR list!!
Oooh, I recognize some books! I’ve read (and loved) A Place to Hang the Moon, Lines of Courage, Rescue, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the first book in the Green Ember series. The other books look like they’re worth checking out!
Ooo yes those are all so good!!
You need to read the rest of the Green Ember books- they’re one of my TOP faves!!
I will definitely read them, now that you suggest them!
Yes! Let me know if you want some more info about them!
I love Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly! I think it’s the only one of these that I’ve read, but now I’m excited because I have more book recs (:
Ahh that’s so fun!! I don’t know if I’ve met anyone else whose read it so yay!! *hugs*
