Princess Without a Palace: A King Thrushbeard Fairy Tale

She’s headstrong, stubborn, and perfectly content in her palace. He’s a penniless minstrel with no intention of proposing. But one fateful song changes everything . . . Princess Liesel never planned to leave her palace—especially not to marry a nobody. But after turning away one too many suitors, her father issues a shocking decree: she must marry the next man who asks, regardless of his rank or fortune. When that man turns out to be a wandering minstrel—who never meant to propose in the first place—Liesel suddenly finds herself cast out and engaged to a commoner. Now forced to live as a peasant, Liesel must learn to survive without her silks, servants, or status. But as she struggles to adapt, she begins to see her unexpected betrothed in a new light—and wonders if her heart might be changing too. A sweet retelling of the Grimm fairy tale King Thrushbeard.
