She's headstrong, stubborn, and perfectly content in her palace. He's a penniless minstrel with no intention of proposing. But one fateful song changes everything . . .
Princess Liesel never planned to leave her palace-especially not to marry a nobody. But after turning away one too many suitors, her father issues a shocking decree: she must marry the next man who asks, regardless of his rank or fortune. When that man turns out to be a wandering minstrel-who never meant to propose in the first place-Liesel suddenly finds herself cast out and engaged to a commoner.
Now forced to live as a peasant, Liesel must learn to survive without her silks, servants, or status. But as she struggles to adapt, she begins to see her unexpected betrothed in a new light-and wonders if her heart might be changing too.
A sweet retelling of the Grimm fairy tale King Thrushbeard.
