"I couldn't stop! Princess Rebecca really seems to have matured and helps others mature also. There are very funny moments that caught me laughing, and very poignant moments that stole a tear. This is actually a story about a Princess becoming a Queen. But it is essentially the story of a woman becoming a woman." -Songbird

Princess Rebecca never expected to agree to an arranged marriage-or to wearing the queen's crown. But now, to secure a peaceful future for the Silver Fairy Tribe, she faces what may well prove to be an impossible situation. She has also agreed to let the Citizen's Council choose her husband from three, carefully selected suitors: Edward, an old friend and son of the traitorous Count Bullierd; Alfred, the arrogant son of crown-seeking Duchess Beatrice; and Hugh Lawson, a Plant Fairy half-prince who already loves Rebecca.

Peace in the tribe is already coming at a high price, but evidence of a pirate build-up complicates matters further, requiring cooperation from each of the four tribes against the most cunning blackguard of them all.
