Description:
Is Maelyn a
real princess? Or a royal mistake? Maelyn was not born a princess. The king
found her as a child, the lone survivor of a poor village slaughtered by the
Red Fever. Suddenly she became a princess of Runa Realm, the first of nine
orphans adopted by the king. By her eighteenth year, Maelyn rules over Runa and
a family of nine sisters. But some call the princesses frauds and imposters, a
handful of urchins raised into royalty. Even Uncle Jarrod, the High King of
Grunwold, seems determined to prove that Maelyn no longer deserves to be a
princess. With a family losing faith in her, and a kingdom growing dangerously
hostile, even Maelyn begins to wonder if she is truly a real princess. And if
her riches will turn to rags once again….
I have been into princess, and short stories of late. I have been devouring
books on my Kindle that can be read in a couple hours. This story has been one
of my favorite finds.
The story is so creative. The plot and
the style were unique and charming. Anita has so much imagination and talent
that I cannot wait to read her next book. If you
are looking for old plots or typical stories, this is not the book for you.
Maelyn is an avid reader, as well as
the princess that keeps all the sisters together. I instantly loved her as I am
also a book lover, and the oldest of a lot of sisters. The only scary thing in
this book comes from a description of one of the stories she reads. I thought
it added a fun touch to the book. In fact, I really want to find Marlyn’s library,
as it sounds so wonderful.
This book, though not strictly
Christian, has good morals and is very clean. I think there might have been one
very brief/not very passionate kiss, but that is really as far as the romance
goes. It really didn’t play into the story that much.
I highly recommend this story for
princess lovers and for those looking for something creative and fresh.
