Amelia I'm a fraud. There. You heard it. I won't say it again. For all the nannies, private tutors, and attendance at one ultra elite academy, one would think I could learn to act like a princess. They would be wrong. My father, the king, has sent me back to the academy as a punishment. His reasoning?

Only this time I am older, wiser, and perfectly willing to tangle with the teachers who once terrified me.
