The country of Umbra is caught in a war between its magical history filled with spellcasters and the new modern revolution. At the core of this civil war is the missing princess, who is prophesied to end the war and put the spellcasters back in a position of power.
To figure out where the heir is, the spellcasters throw a ball and invite all twenty-year-old women to see if one of them is the princess.
Though she's forced to attend, Hazel Cartwright has no magical powers, so she can't possibly be the missing heir . . .
Right?
Princesses, Spies, & Other Modern Lies is a short story full of political intrigue, a missing princess, magic versus modernity, banter, and spies.
