The princess vanished with no trace, and everyone in England was shocked. Rumors after rumors, everyone called her the runaway princess. It seemed that the universe had done its work-she was a feather swaying with the wind, lost to time and memory. But many years later, she found herself back in the palace where she was supposed to belong. With no hope of returning to the life she had built in freedom-or so she thought.
