Believe

She believed in her destiny, then fate tore up their pact.

Princess Samara, daughter of the Sorcerer King, is unimpressed with the current turn of her fortune. Her father's chosen another successor, after promising that she would one day be Sorceress Queen. Then, he begs her to go fetch the very boy who is to usurp her place on his throne. When a reluctant knight, who only thinks of bedding women or hunting dragons, is assigned as their escort, she's ready to flame them all into ash.

Yet, she loves her father. And her beloved late mother's spirit has condoned this abominable turn of fate.

Now Samara is headed back home with a child who doesn't want the role she's been forced to surrender, with a knight who doesn't want to be with either of them. When a dragon then interferes with her plans to safeguard the boy, Samara must decide.

Is she a formidable sorceress who can handle this latest crisis, or was fate right to replace her as heir to her kingdom?
