You’d think fairy tale princesses live a happy life with her royal family in their castle and find a prince to fall in love with, but this princess will live and might face a deadly future after accepting a fatal switcheroo.
Princess Alyrra lives like a prisoner in her royal home, in the hands of her manipulative widowed queen mother and her reckless brother. Expected to marry her betrothed, she’s unable to accept her fate and face the abuse of her mother and brother any longer until a sorceress gives her the opportunity to start a new life in a new kingdom. However, her choice will come at a cost and will force her to make the right decision.
A great story that puts a serious twist on the fairy tale princess formula. There’s plenty of drama for Alyrra who you’ll root for along the way, especially her family who you’ll definitely love to hate. What’s left in the end for Alyrra’s story is something that any princess will face: her unknown future. A- (91%/Excellent)
