Defying Gravity

Carolynn Potter could be classified as a 'tomboy' before 'tomboys' actually existed. And she's a princess, to top it off. But a princess with a mark on her back and a price on her head, all because her mother was a servant to the late King Richard. No-one, noble and peasant alike, wants to see her take the throne of England when her father dies - which seems to be coming closer every day. However, it is Queen Aphrodite who makes the final move. When her father is away, Aphrodite takes Carolynn out to the woods and leaves her there to die. She'll need the help of an unlikely ally, in the form of an infamous outlaw known as Peter the Terrible, to return home.
