The Secret Princess
Book 1 of the Return to the Four Kingdoms series
Princess Giselle’s first royal delegation collapses before it reaches its destination, leaving her stripped of rank, separated from her people, and responsible for a flock of geese. Determined to prove that being a princess is a matter of action rather than title, she investigates a conspiracy threatening more than her own future. A talking horse, an irritable goose boy, and the secretive servant Philip become unlikely allies as danger tightens around her. This Goose Girl retelling turns a stolen identity into a test of leadership with multiple kingdoms at stake.
