The Forgotten Princess

Left to die alone in the stables, Princess Juno Kalesta was fated to meet a lonely and miserable end; having been born from the womb of a villainous and scheming mother, who stopped at nothing in an attempt to claim the position of empress regent for herself; only to be exposed and executed, leaving behind her last legacy; a baby girl, who looked like the carbon copy of her mother.
Scorned by the emperor and cast away by her blood relatives, Juno lived quietly, doing what her mother did best; scheming. While plotting her grand escape from the shackles of the imperial family, she encountered a stranger; the intriguing, mischievous sixth prince of Asmonde; Prince Icarus, a political hostage from a powerhouse nation of the east. Becoming fast friends, over time the odd couple began to open up to each other; exchanging wistful dreams and ideas.

But just like all good things come to an end, eventually the international feud between Asmonde and Kalestria is solved; just like that, Icarus disappears from Juno's life-but not before making a promise to save her from her bleary life of confinement. Juno has other plans.

"I find it truly intriguing, as to why a caged bird who could free themselves would patiently wait for somebody else to open their cage."
