For almost a decade, Finnikin and Sir Topher wander through the kingdoms, attempting to create a list of all the living and deceased Lumatereans that were forced into exile.
Few escape, but amongst those who do is Finnikin, and his father's right hand man, Sir Topher. Within these five days, their kingdom (Lumatere) is viciously attacked by a neighboring kingdom. However, soon come the Five Days of the Unspeakable. For a couple of chapters, they are normal children: they dream about the future, play-fight, and make solemn oaths. It starts off with a bit of exposition about three friends-Finnikin (the son of the captain of the King’s guard), Prince Balthazar (the King's son), and Lucian of the Monts. This book was on my to-read list for a long time before I requested it on LitPick, so I was duly excited to read it when it arrived at my house. Finnikin of the Rock (by Melina Marchetta)
