Someone Else’s Shoes
The Princesses of the Sands Series, Book 1
By Aldrea Alien
Stepping out in borrowed shoes has never been so dangerous.
Stripped of her inheritance as a child by a greedy stepmother, Alla’s future hovers between drudgery and slavery. Having spent years toiling in the mansion that was once her happy home, tending to her stepmother’s every whim, she has long since put aside any thoughts of a better future.
When a chance encounter in the marketplace leaves her with an invitation to the upcoming ball, her only opportunity to play out an old dream of seeing inside the palace walls is by being someone she’s not. A farce that could see her executed or sold.
But will she be able to maintain the illusion once she meets Princess Viktoriya?
