A quiet, soot‑stained street in London becomes the backdrop for a new start when a twelve‑year‑old boy arrives from Russia with his father and a loyal servant. Tall and strong‑framed, he carries a silent, thoughtful gaze that sets him apart in the cramped, grimy house at No. 7 Philibert Place. As he peers through iron railings at the bustling road, the weight of a hurried, mysterious journey across the continent presses on his young shoulders, hinting at secrets left behind.
Within the cramped rooms and shadowed alleyways, the boy discovers a community of odd lodgers and a swirl of rumors about a missing royal heir. Their whispered legends stir his curiosity, prompting him to join a covert group of boys eager for adventure. Together they navigate secret drills, daring games, and the hidden dangers of the city, all while trying to piece together the puzzle of the “lost prince” that may change their lives forever.
