What is The Slave Prince? What is it about?
Imagine yourself as a child. You’re seating in the living room with your parents, and they’re talking about transferring you to a private school. From time-to-time, your mother leans over and nags about your grades. Your father, well, he’s giving you this ’don’t worry kiddo, I’ve got your back’ look. Everything is normal.
This is your house. The dog at your feet is yours. His name is Sam. And Bob the cat is also yours. You named him Bob because he’s yours. Your brother, who’s upstairs playing an MMO, thinks Bob is a stupid name. But you don’t care, because Bob is yours.
This is your life. This is what you know. This is all you know.
Everything about this life shapes who you are. And then one day, you wake up and realise you are not you.
The couple downstairs, arguing about a dinner party, are complete strangers. The boy in the bedroom next door isn’t your brother. Sam is not your dog. You didn’t name Bob, Bob. And what you believe to be your true identity... isn’t true at all.
You don’t know who you are, and it has nothing to do with your memory. You know these people, you know the world you live in, you just don’t know... you.
This is what The Slave Prince is really about. Yes, there’s magic and adventure. But there’s also a prince who has lost himself. And in this journey of self-rediscovery, he learns that it isn’t just about choosing a side. It’s about... something else altogether.
