Emmalynn Fraysier is ugly. The scrawny, big-eyed, thin-faced, small-nosed, zitted, scarred, blemished kind of ugly. What she wants more than anything is a way out. And find it she does. In the most expected place.
Prince Durryn has just turned 21, the age in which all future kings of Elsker must choose their bride of the ages 15-18. Heck, he's handsome, hot, and dashing. There'll be no trouble finding the right woman to sweep off her dainty little feet. Who to choose, who to choose... Little does he know that among these potential brides, one is not all what she seems to be.
