A New York Times Bestseller
In this second book in New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor-winning author Shannon Hale’s Princess Academy series, Miri embarks on a brand new life in the city.
Coming down from the mountain to a new city life is a thrill to Miri. She and her princess academy friends have come to Asland to help the future princess Britta prepare for her wedding. There, Miri also has a chance to attend school--at the prestigious Queen’s Castle.
But as Miri befriends sophisticated and exciting students, she also learns that they have some frightening plans for a revolution. Torn between loyalty to the princess and her new friends’ ideas, between an old love and a new crush, and between her small mountain home and the bustling city, Miri looks to find her own way in this new place.

Hale’s skill as a storyteller will charm her audience…nobody else has quite the same knack for seamlessly segueing between the folksy, intimate charm of an extended fairy tale and the larger canvas and more epic scope of high fantasy.
Hale is a master of fantasy. . . . A gorgeously-written sequel.
Shannon Hale’s books reignite my love of reading--that joy of having the time of my life with a great story.
