"But-" She had tried to protest, only to be interrupted.
"This isn't up for negotiation, Mira. You couldn't get a better marriage if you tried. And you're going to be the crown princess! What girl wouldn't want that? Now put aside your silliness. The festival is about to start and I expect you to carry yourself with respect to your noble lineage." Her mother said sternly, then swept out of the room.
When the pretty horses arrive, the Festival of Jewels has begun.
Natalie is everything Mira wants to be. Bold, graceful, a fierce warrior. For Mira, the highlight of the annual Festival of Jewels is seeing Natalie perform. Watching her do daring feats on horseback that Mira would never dream of trying. She’s never spoken to her, for fear of her parents wrath. A noble lady is not supposed to befriend a traveling entertainer.
But this year is different. After being informed she has no choice but to marry the prince of the kingdom, Mira works up the courage to do the unthinkable. To not only speak to Natalie this year but to run off with her and the entertainers after the festival. Will she successfully avoid a fate she does not want, and perhaps find something she always knew she was looking for?
