Strife of the Scions  (English, Paperback, Rohini Menon)

The ‘strife’ is a competition among noble families to win the throne. The contenders are tested with a series of challenging events to see if they are worthy enough to be the king of the country. Only a few people have made it out alive. Aaron was a rebellious, awkward and loud kid with his head stuck in the clouds. At the end of the day, he was just another ordinary kid raised by his single mother who worked hard for him. Never in his seventeen years of life did he think that he would have to fight for a kingdom he didn’t even know existed. Zaniyah’s family was charged with protecting the heir and staying by his side. She now has to protect the best friend she had lied to for six years. “Why did you lie to me?” he asked; his voice was full of pain. “They were orders,” she replied, forcing every cell in her body to not break down and hug him.
