The Reign of the Princess Naska

About this book

A young princess rules Tsarkovia under a law that gives her the crown in her own right. Her position promises power, yet the demands of a court leave precious little room for an ordinary life. Romance and statecraft are difficult companions when every private decision has public consequences.

Amelia Hutchison Stirling sets her illustrated romance in an invented European kingdom, bringing questions of authority and personal independence into a story of royal intrigue. Paul Hardy's pictures supply the courtly costumes and dramatic settings. Behind the familiar spectacle of a palace lies the unusual premise of a woman whose right to rule is beyond question, even as her freedom is tested.
