"The lowliest damsel can love where she likes, but I have no more freedom than a caged bird. My role is all, and my will is naught."

,p>This is the first story in "Nine Princesses: Tales of Love and Romance." The book is most likely to appeal to fans of Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, or Shakespeare.
