It seems a strange coincidence that the novels By Sword and Star and The Prince of Knaves have been published almost simultaneously. Both can be summarized as “a handsome prince, who has been neglecting his rank to associate with the commoners, escapes when plotters overthrow his father and frame him as the assassin. Alone, he must foil the usurpers to save the kingdom.”
I feel I should point out, though, that technically, Tiran in By Sword and Star isn't framed as the assassin. Tiran is hunted, of course, but only as the heir to the throne would be.
