Strength of Spirit

A kind princess of a peaceful kingdom. An obedient daughter to a ruling mother. A girl with a secret.
Vallia has lived all her life trying not to let her emotions show. Not just because she is always on show as the princess, but because a dangerous beast lurks just under the surface of her calm demeanour.
So when Vallia is kidnapped and her father refuses to pay the ransom, the princess calmly waits to die. Only, a friendly talking horse has other ideas, and whisks her away before she can object.
Now she faces the chance to tame her beastly side once and for all. Because she's not the only one in her family with secrets, and it seems like her mother's past might hold the key.
