Synopsis
“…so other worlds with magic are real, and supposedly my mom was a princess from one of them and they’re asking me to go there because I’m next in line for the throne.”
Mark Berg thought he knew how strange life could get in New York City during the early ’90s – until his best friend Joel dropped that bombshell. Now, Joel is heir to the throne of a distant, magical kingdom called Obdrest, and the people of that world want their prince back.
Before Joel can think about ruling anything, he and Mark must face a new challenge: attending a high school in the magic-rich world of Feldaren. For Joel, it’s a chance to learn about his heritage and the political chaos brewing around his family. For Mark, a socially awkward nerd with a love of video games and D&D, it’s the ultimate adventure – a chance to escape the suffocating city and discover if he can be more than the underdog he’s always been.
But life in Feldaren isn’t all fantastical creatures and flying carriages. Political intrigue and ancient rivalries lurk in the hallways of Queen Sara Memorial Academy. As Joel is pulled between the expectations of a prince and the danger surrounding his family’s past, Mark must figure out if he’s meant to stay by his friend’s side – or choose a destiny of his own in a world that might finally accept him.
High school drama, magical mishaps, and two young men’s quests for identity collide in My Best Friend is a Prince from Another World – where the price of loyalty may be measured in more than broken friendships and bad grades.
