Prologue

Her name was Princess Elizabeth Odette Rose, but people would soon come to know her as Princess Odette. She was the first child born unto the great 68th king of Rowendia, King Macksmith, and his queen, Rosette, on the 31st of May, 1372. On her name day, there were Dukes and Duchesses, Princes and Princesses, and even Kings and Queens (each with their own guards). The princess was well protected. Her parents provided gifts to all of the guests (including golden carriages and beautiful artistry from around the globe), but he didn't care about any expenses, for a first child was worth celebrating.

Each guest provided a gift as well, most showing off their products from their individual lands. In total, she got 14 beautiful, Arabian horses from the Prince of Gastonia, 7 skilled knights from Lament, many fine linens from Asterman, as well as several marriage proposals (as was custom). None were more intriguing than the one from the King Nestor of Nash's son, Prince Conlin. The kings began the arrangements immediately. King Macksmith knew the little prince's father would have raised him well, so he would treat her well. When the princess would turn the age of 10, she would begin to have regular meetings with the prince. Then by the time she was sixteen, he would surely love and wed her. With the plan set, all that they would have to do to join their two kingdoms, was wait . . .

But a threat loomed on the horizon and threaten the kingdom as well as the princess. No guards were prepared to help her escape safely from that . . .
