In a land of fantasy, magic, and even elves, being a princess would be considered something of a dream; but to the fourteen-year-old Varus, it is more of a burden than anything. It’s not really the responsibilities that weigh so much on Varus, it’s that she—along with her brother and sister— live in the conquered land of their enemies; they attend high school surrounded by people that hate them and their father. Beyond that, Varus isn’t a normal person; she has green skin, silver hair, black lips, and a host of other unique colors across her body. It’s not all bad though, her younger sister Xarox is a genius, and her older brother Drait is a guardian to the both of them. Along with Bob and Marge— their caretakers— they don’t have much to fear of the townspeople. When the war of their father suddenly begins to rage again, Varus finds her life flipped upside down. How far will she go to end the war her father started? Will she become a hero? Can the King’s Daughter unite Anterra? Or will she become the monster she fears she is? Only through the fires of war can she learn for sure.
