She finds refuge in a hidden cottage where strangers welcome her as family. Soon Pearl is waiting tables at the village tavern, quietly using the fighting skills her royal tutors taught her to handle rowdy customers, making true friends, and trying to focus whenever Sir Brandon walks through the door.

But a princess can’t hide forever. When the people she’s come to care about are threatened, Pearl must decide whether to keep hiding in the shadows…or claim the crown that’s rightfully hers.
