The Corona Chronicles

A long time has passed since Cass stopped being a lady-in-waiting for Princess Rapunzel and struck out on her own. She left the Kingdom of Corona behind as an independent woman after she was manipulated by Zhan Tri into hurting Raps and her friends. She wanted to figure out her own life and left Raps live the way she wanted. She couldn't bear to see Raps anymore after everything she did, thinking about the awful things she had done every time she saw her. Shortly thereafter, she joined crew of space pirates. In the process, she fell in love with a 19-year-old charismatic, striking captain, Marika. One day, Cass hears an unexpected voice on one of the ship's machines, pleading for help. Although she is unsure if she wants to burden others with her troubled past, Marika convinces her to go on an unexpected mission to Corona. An eventful reunion with a princess she once loved awaits Cass while invisible virus, which has caused a crisis in Corona, has put Raps in jeopardy.
