Foolish Princess
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A YA-leaning fantasy about a princess who never wanted the crown, fighting against her corrupt royal family while her kingdom starves and magic fades. The forbidden romance with the mysterious guide Nic adds tension and first-kiss butterflies.
Synopsis
Time is almost up for Eflorencia, and the king couldn’t care less. With the famine wiping families out left and right, and the magic shortage driving people to sacrifice more than they have to give, taking advantage of the people of Eflorencia is simple. But Beatrice Wolfe doesn’t want any part of her father’s royal family legacy. The world she knew nothing about is on the brink of running out of magic (and consequently, out of time). Bea knows she must take action against her newfound family. Trusting the handsome guide who crashed into her life seems like the best path forward, but what she doesn’t know about Nic might end up being her downfall. "Foolish Princess" is book two in The Tales of Eflorencia. This coming-of-age story is for fantasy readers who devour first kiss butterflies only when accompanied by scandalous secrets. Enjoy the entire series, written by USA Today bestselling paranormal romance author Mary E. Twomey.
