Being royalty has never been easy, but when unfortunate circumstances thrust Princess Shea Enide into the role of queen at sixteen, she quickly leans that she is far from prepared for such a demanding role.  As time goes on, and with much reluctance, she settles into a certain routine that earns her the love and respect of her people.  But not everyone loves the young queen and her kindhearted ways. . .
