Pages: 30

A short story booklet.

The gods prophesized that the king’s heir, born of a nymph, would be the salvation of his kingdom. But no girl can inherit the throne, so Liana is cast aside.

While neighboring princes scheme to conquer the kingdom, Liana is raised with a gift. She learns from her stepmother how to spin, twirl, and kick so that none can look away.

Alongside the princesses who must also learn to dance, Liana is caught up in her stepmother’s dark purposes. But by keeping her own ends in mind, she might even fulfill the prophecy that has long since been forgotten.
