About This Book

The soft scent of freshly baked bread fills the castle kitchen where Princess Amy quietly scrubs pots, her freckles glowing in the warm light. Unlike her dazzling sisters, Amy is wonderfully ordinary, with brown hair and a spirit that craves adventure over royal duties. But when she meets a prince who’s just as ordinary—and just as special—her world begins to sparkle in unexpected ways.
