Prince Caspian

Prince Caspian is the fourth book of the series The Chronicles of Narnia, written by C.S. Lewis. Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter Pevensie return to Narnia magically when they were about to enter a train to take them back to boarding school. They find themselves in a strange land, not knowing that it was Narnia at first. After scouting around, they find ruins which appear to be Cair Paravel, the castle they lived in when they ruled as kings and queens back on their first visit to Narnia. They find out that during the one year they were in their own world, after returning from Narnia, about 1300 years had passed there.

Because of their fear of the Telmarines, a group of people who lived in a land next to Narnia, the Narnian creatures went into hiding. The Pevensie children help them by teaming up with Prince Caspian, the rightful heir to the Telmarine throne; his evil Uncle Miraz usurped the throne when he killed Caspian's father. He also tried to kill Caspian on the night his wife bore him a son. Capsian was only able to escape because his teacher helped him. He was chased into the forest by his uncle's soldiers and was saved by Narnians. Caspian promised the Pevensies and the Narnians that he would restore Narnia once he was made king.

Caspian, the Pevensies, and the dwarfs, centaurs, and other creatures that joined forces with them attempted to kill Miraz by invading the castle. The plan failed and they lost many comrades. Another war broke out later because one of Miraz's subjects claimed that the enemy shot the king while the truth was that Caspian let his uncle live. With the help of Aslan who arrived in time because Lucy found him, the Telmarines were defeated. Caspian was crowned king, Narnia was restored, and the Pevensies reutrned home.
