A 2013 Beehive YA Fiction Nominee
Written by Eilis O’Neal
The False Princess is an enchanting story about Nalia, the Princess of Thorvaldor and heir to the throne. When she turns 16 she is told she is not Nalia, but Cinda, a commoner who has been used as a decoy to protect the real Nalia. Cinda is then sent to live with an aunt she has never known. She finds strength to endure, magical powers, and a romance with the boy in her life, Kiernan. I believe any young adult, and any old adult, will enjoy reading this adventurous fairy tale.
