The King's Regret by Philip Ligon

Jason is not a child anymore. He hasn’t been a child since the King betrayed his family, killing his mother and all his friends in a terrible surprise attack against his home. He is not a child anymore, but everyone still treats him like he is. His father, his uncle, his sister. And especially Nanny Grace. Jason knows he can help. But he’s stuck washing dishes, tucked away and protected as the heir to the Falconbone family. All he can do is dream of the day when he finishes his ship, The King’s Regret, and flies it to the capital to avenge his family. When Father flies away to search for allies, a saboteur wrecks havoc on their refuge. Jason is determined to find the traitor, to prove that he can be useful. The last thing he expects is to find his family’s oldest enemy lurking in the shadows of their mountain hideaway. And for that man to be his only hope for bringing his Father home alive.
