Fantasy literature has presented many different views of the princess, from the delicate beauties in fairy tales to more rough-and-tumble types in modern literature. One thing all these portrayals have in common is that the princess is embodied with power: power of their family, power of the kingdom and in many cases, power of their magic. Dawn Cook uses the princess theme from a slightly different view, one where the princess suddenly finds out she is not the personification of power she thought, but also learns power can come from many sources.
