All her life, Cecilia has been told she’s the rightful heir to Suala, raised in hiding while a decoy lives out her life as princess, until the enemies of the royal family are exposed. When those enemies come for Cecilia, she decides the time is right to reclaim her throne. With her best friend, Harper, in tow, she sets out to do just that, only to discover she’s not the only claimant to the throne, and not all is what it seems to be. In this clever twist on the old “princess in hiding” theme, Haddix brings us a strong-willed, highly capable heroine forced to cope with situations she never could have imagined. It’s a fun read, and a welcome return to the world of Haddix’ Just Ella.
