As a royal lady's maid, Rynn has one task: Escort the princess of Astoria to her intended's kingdom and return home. Unfortunately for the former goose girl, the princess has other plans. When her charge flees, Rynn's not only forced to take the princess's place, but she must also contend with a spiteful fairy horse, a good dose of political intrigue, and Conrad...the mysterious and all-too observant lord who consumes more of her thoughts than he should. But with war looming on the horizon, Rynn stands to lose more than her heart. Can she convince the princess to return, end the charade, and make peace between the kingdoms? More importantly, can she possibly avoid a death sentence when the truth is revealed?
