Disturbed Princess

When the determined Princess Beatrice tries to end the famine in Eflorencia, she doesn't realize there are more formidable foes lurking in the shadows than those the throne has sent to hunt her down.

When Bea stumbles into a village that's been lost to starvation and desperation, she realizes there is no safe place to turn. Either she must use every bit of her birth magic to restore the land for her people, or she can walk away with her life (along with the eternal regret of having failed Eflorencia).

Learning to trust her guard is one obstacle, but when those who have been long dead come back to haunt Bea and her family, she will take whatever help she can get. For all that Nic seems to know about the world that's been hidden from her, even he has no roadmap that can keep the dead from bringing catastrophe down on their heads. When discomfort turns to disaster, it becomes clear that if Bea cannot find a way to stand up to the soldiers who have been sent to capture her, this will be the first of many villages lost to the king's lust for power.
