Synopsis

Misty Miles, the princess of a faraway land known as Starryton, is like any other woman of her station - except for her disability. She has spent the majority of her 21 years high in a tower so that this, and the wheelchair that accompanies it, will remain a secret. Her parents' fear of the monarchy appearing weak as a result of Misty's condition necessitates this course of action. Their efforts to protect both Misty and the monarchy make her question her ability to do much of anything - forget about reigning over a kingdom. Like most princesses, Misty has a Prince Charming. Her love is Derrick Denison, prince of the neighboring kingdom of Mooncrest, who is a gifted dancer. Misty is unable to see Derrick because not only is she stuck in an inescapable room, but there's also the matter of the long, as of yet unresolved, feud between the two families. This conflict caused the once beloved kingdom of Starrycrest to break apart into two separate kingdoms. The princess soon realizes that she must take matters into her own hands. She goes to Trovella, a troll rumored to grant wishes for a price. Misty's wish takes her on an interesting journey. She not only stares down self-doubt while ensuring that her kingdom and the kingdom of her beloved prince do not pay the ultimate price, but also contends with the rage of feuding families. To make matters all the more complicated, the princess is also faced with the challenge of finding a little girl she encounters in the course of her journey, who also has a disability, a permanent family.

The royal family is afraid that if they let her leave the castle, the common people will become aware of her disability and it will not reflect positively on their image. Misty is 21 and full of imagination; she dreams of the day she will be allowed to step out of her castle.A princess's story is incomplete without a prince, and this one's name is Derrick Denison - Misty's one true love. The problem stands tall and erect that their families loathe each other to point of life and death. The quest to resolve the conflict between the two families takes Misty to a troll who is famous for granting wishes - it does not end well.It's the perfect Romeo and Juliet romance. Allison's first book contains an effortless narrative, amazing cover, and characters that are full of innocent wit."-  SeriousReading.com
