Princess Ahira
222 pages · First published 2012
Princess Ahira has been raised under unusual circumstances and has learned that royal birth offers little protection from loneliness, danger, or expectations she never chose. Magic and court politics complicate her efforts to understand whom she can trust and what kind of princess she wants to become. Relationships formed outside the safest boundaries of palace life challenge the assumptions others have made about her future. K. M. Shea’s early fairy-tale fantasy combines clean romance, royal intrigue, and a heroine whose path toward agency depends on seeing beyond the role assigned by her title.
