The Princess Companion
Book 2 of the The Four Kingdoms series
Lost in a storm, woodcutter’s daughter Alyssa knocks on a castle door and unexpectedly accepts work as companion to two unruly young princesses. Palace life brings her into the orbit of a handsome prince just as danger and political intrigue begin closing around the royal family. Alyssa’s outsider perspective and practical courage make her far more important to the kingdom’s survival than anyone expects. This clean retelling of The Princess and the Pea turns the familiar test of a true princess into an adventure about a common girl protecting a royal household.
