In the fifth book in the Princelings of the East series, Humphrey is on the run, and Castle White Horse is under threat. Humphrey is rounded up amongst other exiles, but escapes, and finds himself among people that could be his friends, something he has never had before. Humphrey’s adventures twist and turn as he is called to his destiny by an unknown force, one that calls to his special hearing skills. He meets other talented individuals and learns to be a team, to work with others for the common good - the good of all those escaping from tyranny at Castle White Horse.

It’s a tale of greed, of fighting, of cruelty and of a darker place than the ones we’ve met so far in the Princelings world. Heroes and heroines emerge from the unlikeliest of places to find laughter and friendship and a place where they belong.

The Talent Seekers is a fantasy adventure story with paranormal influences and some pitched battles. It is set in the months between the Prologue and the Epilogue of the Princelings and the Lost City, but with otherwise little connection to the previous stories in the series. It’s suitable for readers aged 10 and upwards with some parental guidance.
