Princess Catherine's world shatters when her family's summer castle is attacked by a ruthless enemy, forcing her to flee into the woods with her sister, Princess Margaret. In the chaos of the assault, the two are separated, and Catherine is left to navigate the wilds alone. Exhausted, heartbroken, and desperate to survive, she faints from exhaustion and is swept away by a river. Clinging to a log for dear life, Catherine eventually washes up on a riverbank, where she is discovered by a family of seven siblings.
Taken to their secluded estate on the island kingdom of Spellblade, Catherine is nursed back to health, though her spirit is broken. The trauma of the attack and the loss of her sister leaves her unable to speak, though she finds comfort in the company of Rowan Valheart, who offers her understanding without words. As she recovers, Catherine begins to piece together the clues of the attack, but the whispers of a new, even greater threat heading for her kingdom reach her ears.
Determined to protect her home and find out what happened to her sister, Catherine knows she must find the strength to speak again, to face the dangers ahead, and to uncover the truth about who betrayed her family. With Rowan by her side, Catherine sets out on a perilous journey back to her kingdom, where she will need all the courage and resolve she can muster to reclaim free her family, confront the enemies that lie in wait, and rescue Princess Margaret from whatever dark fate has befallen her.
In this retelling of Snow White, The Silent Princess: A Tale of Courage is a story of resilience, friendship, and the power of finding your voice in the face of fear. As Catherine learns to trust again, she discovers that true courage comes not just from the ability to fight, but from the strength to speak up for what is right and to protect those she loves.
