Meet the Characters

Text sections on the left detail her character traits: "Who She Is," "What She Wants," "What She Fears," and "Her Strengths" (including deep bond with her pegasai, survival skills, keen intuition, and hidden magical ability), along with a quote at the bottom reading, "They may see a princess. But they don't see me. Not the real me."

BETRAYAL.
CONSPIRACIES.
MAGIC.

Amy has only known life as a farm girl, caring for the sacred pegasi she would do anything to protect. When she’s chosen to impersonate a missing princess during a royal courtship that could prevent a devastating war, she’s thrust into a glittering world of politics, prophecy, and deadly secrets.

Every smile hides an agenda. Every alliance comes with a price. As conspiracies tighten around the royal court, Amy finds herself torn between the enigmatic Princess Rachel of Hazel Wood, the enigmatic Prince of Acacia Wood, and a mission that grows more dangerous with every passing day.

If Amy fails, kingdoms will burn, ancient magic will awaken, and the pegasi she loves will be drawn into a war that could destroy them all.

HOW FAR WILL SHE GO TO SAVE THE ONES SHE LOVES?
