Her whole life, Aurelia has only wanted one thing: to prove herself to her father, the King of Sumpton. When she's sent across the continent to lead negotiations with Willhardt's queen she thinks she's getting just that. What she doesn't know is that this trip will change everything for her. With the magic that she thought the continent had lost access to flourishing in the capital, a monarch that underestimates and challenges her at every turn, and thoughts of a pretty princess to distract her, Aurelia's world is quickly turned upside down. She's left wondering how she'll survive the trip, and, more importantly, how can she keep everyone happy while she tries?
