He lives in a palace with hundreds of his brothers, all barred by law from ever leaving the palace until he, or one of his brothers, becomes the next Sultan. Living under constant threat of death at the hands of his scheming brothers, Amir has chosen a life of solitude and study. His scholarly and alchemical pursuits bring him under suspicion when his brothers begin to die from seemingly supernatural means. Amir finds himself thrown together with his brother Erik, the son of a barbarian princess. Together they must discover the dark secret that is stalking the halls of their golden cage.

Reviews
Graemes Fantasy Book Review \| Graeme Flory	Review Rating: 85
'The Princes in the Golden Cage' is a rip-roaring yarn, in the style of Sinbad the Sailor that I think anyone would be hard pressed not to enjoy. Full Review Link



Fantasy Literature \| Terry Weyna	Review Rating: 74
This is both a fantasy and a mystery, and it plays a scrupulously fair game, should one wish to follow the clues rather than become lost in the glamour that Mallet creates with her words. Full Review Link



Boomtron \| Jay Tomio	Review Rating: 60
All in all The Princes of The Golden Cage was a solid one night read and at times has a charming, mischievous quality, and possibly even hits its mark, I just don't think I'm that target. Full Review Link

It reads like a first draft one might encounter in a writing workshop, and a poor first draft at that. Full Review Link
