Belladonna, the second non-heir princess of Jargamor, is nothing like a silk-draped aristocratic miss from the central planets! To achieve her goal, she will gather magical tea from the plantations, and she won’t hesitate to steal the royal silkworms; she’ll make a couple of escapes, drink poison, sign a “bed” contract with a baron, and even charm a secret agent! Do you think such things are beyond one princess? Then her mysterious “shadow” will enter the game—and certain gentlemen will have to believe that there are ladies in the world who can put them in their place!
