Summary

The wonderful adventure story of two boys, one the son of a mysterious impoverished grandee and the other the handicapped son of a n'eer-do-well drunkard. The boys together travel thru Europe on a Secret Mission and help wrest a fictitious country called "Samavia" from its wicked rulers and place the legendary and rightful heir on the throne denied the dynasty for over 500 years.“In every nook and cranny, high and low, they sought for him…he had vanished as a star vanishes when it drops from its place in the sky.” From the author of such children’s classics as The Secret Garden and A Little Princess comes this enchanting story of a young boy discovering his true destiny.Twelve-year-old Marco knows he is being trained for something, but he isn’t sure what. All his life he has traveled with his father in secrecy, learning many languages and the ways of a gentleman, but forbidden to speak about their country of origin, Samavia. Samavia has been fraught with war for the last five hundred years, ever since the prince mysteriously disappeared. But now, there is hope that peace may come at last, as it has been rumored that a descendant of the lost prince may have been found. And Marco is about to take on a secret quest that will change everything for his family and his country.Table of ContentsChapter 01: The New Lodgers At No. 7 Philibert PlaceChapter 02: A Young Citizen Of The WorldChapter 03: The Legend Of The Lost PrinceChapter 04: The RatChapter 05: "Silence Is Still The Order"Chapter 06: The Drill And The Secret PartyChapter 07: "The Lamp Is Lighted!"Chapter 08: An Exciting GameChapter 09: "It Is Not A Game"Chapter 10: The Rat--And SamaviaChapter 11: "Come With Me"Chapter 12: "Only Two Boys"Chapter 13: Loristan Attends A Drill Of The SquadChapter 14: Marco Does Not AnswerChapter 15: A Sound In A DreamChapter 16: The Rat To The RescueChapter 17: "It Is A Very Bad Sign"Chapter 18: "Cities And Faces"Chapter 19: "That Is One!"Chapter 20: Marco Goes To The OperaChapter 21: "Help!"Chapter 22: The Night VigilChapter 23: The Silver HornChapter 24: "How Shall We Find Him?"Chapter 25: A Voice In The NightChapter 26: Across The FrontierChapter 27: "It Is The Lost Prince!
