Book one of the FOUNDER'S COUNCIL CHRONICLES, THE HEARTBREAK PRINCESS follows the Kingdom of Estreyla's crown princess, Lorelai Bituin, and her fellow princes and princesses from the other five kingdoms in the land. Lorelai, who is seventeen, continually rejects her parents' suggestions to allow someone to court her, and diverts her attention to more important things: like the Three Queens' Ball honoring the alliance between their kingdom, the Kingdom of Chantara, and the Kingdom of Callen. The ball happened once a decade, and it was Estreyla's turn to host. Lorelai, alongside Prince Elijah and Princess Daniella of Callen, and Princess Kavina of Chantara, oversees the arrangements for the ball.
When a surprising RSVP comes in from a less-than-friendly kingdom comes in, tensions arrive at the castle as the future heirs find themselves in the middle of political moves their parents wish to make: the reinstatement of an ancient agreement that had ended back when the Mages were still permitted in the land known as the Founders' Council.
