Being good for Lace is easy. Until it’s hard.
Lace is everything a princess should be, beautiful, caring, and virtuous. She never gossips or loses her temper. Being adopted by the king was the best thing that ever happened to her. She relishes her life as a princess, a life free of all trouble and temptation.Hoping to forge an important alliance, Lace is sent across the sea to Morganoch, a kingdom situated dreadfully close to the much-feared Barren Realm. Furthermore, a dangerous pirate has been preying on ships, searching not for gold or jewels, but for human prizes. Lace – who prefers plucking her harp to having adventures – finds herself in the midst of cutthroat criminals, scheming nobles, and possible ghosts in the castle. But that’s not even her worst problem.
Brennan - the charming, handsome, MARRIED king of Morganoch - has set Lace’s heart on fire. And he seems to return the feeling. For the first time ever, Lace is facing real temptation, one she can’t just walk away from. If she rejects the king, she’ll lose the alliance her kingdom so desperately needs. But if she accepts him, she’ll be betraying everything she ever believed in.
The Nine Princesses is a series that chronicles the adventures of an unconventional family of princesses, the struggles they face in a kingdom often hostile to their humble origins, and the day-to-day dramas of nine young women whose personalities clash like swords. Recommended for ages 15 and up.
