The Street Thief They Called Princess Alicia

Synopsis

Nenah steals to eat and hides her lapis-blue eyes from the slavers who would pay to own them, until the brother she trusted hands her to two cloaked men in an empty house. The buyers are not slavers. Fortna's priestess princess lies dead at the bottom of a ravine, and the second prince needs a girl with those exact eyes to stand in her place: three months of training, then a wedding to a foreign crown prince who wants nothing from the match but a reason to invade. Nenah agrees for one word nobody has ever given her. Needed.
