Illuminating the Magic: An Ugly Duckling Retelling

N/A

A Princess in exile. A Prince secretly in love. And magic no one wants.
Princess Lyra was gifted with a magic no one wants and is looked upon as lesser, including her family. Unbeknownst to her, there is more to her magic.

One fateful night, her kingdom is taken over by a necromancer. She flees the kingdom with her bodyguard Phen, and best friend, Prince Damius into a neighboring kingdom where she learns the secrets about her magic and about her family. For the first time, she feels at home and welcomed by others. She even discovers her love for Damius.

However, the necromancer will stop at nothing until she is dead. But he is not the only enemy she has to face. Her heart is torn between doing the right thing and pursuing her heart’s desire. Is she willing to claim back her family’s kingdom or remain in exile? Can her love for Damius survive despite Damius’s family scorn?
