Publisher's Summary

Danger and romance await a woodcutter's daughter in a royal palace.  

One dark and stormy night, lost and alone, Alyssa finds herself knocking on the door of a castle. After a lifetime spent in the deep forest, Alyssa has no idea what to expect on the other side.  

What she finds is two unruly young princesses and one very handsome prince. When Alyssa accepts the job of Princess Companion, she knows her life will change. What she doesn't know is that the royal family is about to be swept up in unexpected danger and intrigue, and that she just might be the only thing standing between her kingdom and destruction.  

This retelling of the classic fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea, reimagines the risks and rewards that come when one royal family goes searching for a true princess.

Loved it.

I purchased this book in a hurry and didn't realise it was a retelling of Princess and the pea. I was disappointed when I realised but decided to give it a go. Thank god, because I loved this story. I just finished it and I am feeling sad. The story was captivating from the start to the end. Love Alyssa and all the other characters. There were no typical cringe parts you find in most of these YA type stories. Highly recommend it.
