Mapmaker’s Mistake

Description

From a young age, Princess Asha helplessly watched her kingdom of Zanzia struggle. Even now, rival forces to the north, led by the tyrannical son of a mad king, are usurping her country’s land and resources as her people starve. Zanzia’s only chance at salvation, it seems, lays in the hands of their 13-year-old princess.

Mapmaker’s Mistake follows the adventures of Asha as she uses her skills with a blade to reforge her destiny with the help of Rose, her Lady-in-Waiting, and spunky little sister Aurelia. Together the girls use diplomacy, espionage, and sharpened steel to circumvent an unstoppable army bent on taking what little Zanzia has left.

And when a chance encounter presents Asha with a chance to break free of her burdens and to live the life she always wanted, a mapmaker’s mistake means that Asha is forced to choose between saving her kingdom or saving herself.
