What pops into your head when you hear the word "princess"? Most likely, you think of snobby girls in ball gowns who have an easy life and eventually live happy ever after with their prince Charmings. But Iola (eye-OH-lah) is not your typical princess, in fact the complete opposite. As a princess of an uncharted island in the Mediterranean, she struggles to make the right decisions for her kingdom on her own. With an evil queen as a mother and a clueless king as a father, Iola is deprived of love, care and support as she struggles to manage her own life, let alone her people's.
She decides to escape off the island disguised as a peasant in search of adventure, a purpose, and love.
This is the tale of a princess pauper. The girl who has everything she could ever dream of... and nothing at all.
