At first look, Eliza Pariseau is a normal girl. Like all seventeen-year-old kids of her country, she goes to a boarding-school-like Prep School to start getting ready for University. But there's something that differs her from the other students: she's a princess and the third in the succession line to the throne of Parforce. The only detail? Nobody can know.
Not that she cares that much, since, in her head, she has bigger problems than having to keep a State secret. For instance, her best friend, whom she doesn't bear any more. Or Matthew Wickham, the guy who all girls talk about all the time and that Elisa can't stand. Or even Kira Giovanni, who insists on filling her blog with gossips about him and Elisa. But maybe the worst of all is Benjamin, who had to go from best friend to personal guard, and all the confusion that comes from that.
Like if that weren't enough, Elisa is signed up against her will to the Belforte Games, a competition to celebrate the anniversary of the founder and first king of her country. In the middle of all this commotion, who has time to worry about keeping their identity?
It's a busy year at school and even more inside her heart. An emotional rollercoaster and grand decisions, find out what fate has for her through the most thrilling pages of her diary.
