Synopsis

An outcast.
A prince.
And a deadly rebellion...

After a lifetime of rejection, seamstress Evie can't trust Frederic, the crown prince of Lanover--not his words of friendship or the way the warmth in his eyes seems to ask for even more. But when they end up on a tour of his kingdom--one filled with increasing danger--Evie's mistrust might doom them all.

In this spin on the classic fairy tale, an ugly duckling must discover her true worth in order to save her kingdom and maybe even find true love.
