Meanwhile, Princess Arya, known as the “ordinary princess” and heir to the Kingdom of Capea, has doubts about her royal potential.
Their worlds collide when an assassination attempt on the queen results in Arya being cursed to transform into a black goat every sunrise. Arya seeks refuge among the sheep of Trier, and discovering the hidden talents of her new friends is her only hope of breaking the curse. Together they embark on a perilous journey back to the castle, face treacherous enemies and uncover a web of betrayal and rebellion.
As Arya fights to reclaim her throne and restore order to Capua, the girls discover a deep connection and their shared experiences forge an unbreakable bond. As Arya faces those who betrayed her, will she have what it takes to reclaim the crown and rule an unstable kingdom? Will Trill be confident in her magic and her growing feelings for her friends?
