A New Princess

Fate Dances

Gisela serves her village, where the good of the people matters more than any one person's happiness. Unable to contribute to the village in the most primal of ways, she releases her unhappiness by dancing in a fallow field . . . until the ruler of the land notices her latent magic.

The least of a large family, Stevan ranks as a solid, reliable scribe. Someone others respect-and forget. Then he meets Gisela, the newest of the Dancing Princesses: lovely, magical, and out-of-reach.

For the first time in Stevan's life, he dreams high; Gisela leaves old dreams behind in the village and seeks new. To win through to each other, they must match power for power-and dare to reveal weaknesses as well as strengths.

Gentle and moving, A New Princess follows powerful, believable protagonists finding strength through love.
