The Mystery Princess
Book 2 of the Return to the Four Kingdoms series
Daria has spent her life caring for others, and when traveling merchants rescue her while she is fleeing for her life, she gladly works for them in exchange for safety. She hopes anonymity as a servant will let her escape the dangers of balls, royalty, and her past, but Prince Percy keeps appearing and the threat behind her flight refuses to disappear. Hiding becomes impossible when the safety of entire kingdoms begins to depend on truths Daria would rather keep buried. This Cinderella retelling follows a heroine running away from royal complications rather than dreaming of entering them.
