Text to World

In the book Leviathon, the 15 year old prince of Austria, Alek, is trained so in case anything bad happens, he'll be able to defend himself. This is because, he is in the midst of World War 1.  But, he is soon kidnapped, and his parents are killed.  He is held captive to be protected, because apparently now that his parents are dead, his title is nothing. This book is a twisted version of World War 1. This reminds me of the real one. Soldiers from other country's would try to plant attacks or bombs on kingdoms, so that the royal family would die. This would make no control over military forces, which would make them much easier to defeat, then to win the war.
