Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Sage Brightfield is an ordinary young newsboy trying to survive the cold mornings of Barrow Street, selling newspapers from a battered kiosk while the city wakes around him. Known as Noah to the delivery drivers, police officers, and workers who pass his stand, Sage has learned to survive through sharp instincts, quick reflexes, and an intimate knowledge of the dangerous streets. He expects another ordinary morning-until the latest edition of The Metropolitan Gazette arrives with a headline that changes everything: WHERE IS PRINCESS AURELIA?The missing princess is not simply a distant royal figure. When Iris, the quiet young woman who has been buying coffee and newspapers from Sage every morning for three months, arrives at the stand, he recognizes the unmistakable scar across her eyebrow. She is Princess Aurelia, the very woman whose disappearance has thrown the underground kingdom into turmoil.Before Sage can understand what he has stumbled into, agents of the Iron Concordat arrive to capture her. Armed, organized, and determined to return the princess before her scheduled coronation, they turn the humble newsstand into a battlefield. Iris reveals that she is far more dangerous and capable than the shy art student Sage thought he knew, while Sage discovers that his own street-honed instincts may be the only thing keeping them alive.Forced to flee together, the newsboy and the missing princess descend beneath the familiar city into a hidden world of tunnels, ancient machinery, royal bloodlines, and subterranean power. The secret beneath the streets is far larger than Sage ever imagined, and Aurelia's disappearance is tied to a struggle that reaches deep into the foundations of the metropolis.As they navigate hidden passages and dangerous enemies, Sage must decide whether he is willing to risk everything for a girl he barely knows. Aurelia, meanwhile, must confront the difference between being a royal heir and becoming a leader capable of understanding the people living beneath her family's rule.Their journey brings together street survival, royal intrigue, underground kingdoms, mechanical technology, and supernatural forces. The contrast between Sage's working-class life and Aurelia's hidden royal identity creates an unlikely partnership built on necessity, trust, and courage.The Newsboy and the Missing Princess is an atmospheric fantasy adventure filled with danger, mystery, secret identities, and a hidden civilization beneath the city. At its heart is the story of two people from completely different worlds who are forced to rely on one another-and discover that changing the future may require looking beyond titles, bloodlines, and the roles society has assigned them.
