A Dance of Silver and Shadow
Book 1 of the Beyond the Four Kingdoms series
Princess Liliana and her twin sister sail to new lands expecting adventure, only to find the duchy of Marin trapped beneath a dangerous curse. Lily and eleven other princesses are forced into a secret tournament held in a magical underground realm, where the winner faces a terrible fate. By day Lily investigates the court with the help of Marin’s prince, while by night she searches for a way to defeat the tournament itself. This Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling raises the stakes far beyond worn-out slippers as Lily fights to save the contestants, the duchy, and perhaps a growing romance.
