Prologue
The following is a record of several lives in the time of King Rupert IV and the Queen Maybelle. They had many sons and daughters, and in order of age (oldest to youngest), they are Crown prince Liam, princess Emilia, princess Laura, prince Adam, and the youngest, princess Ruth. Two of this royal family play important parts in this part of history.
This record is about a magical attack on one of the royal blood and how it was narrowly defeated. It is how four totally different people can make a large difference in whether people live or die. It is how the children of two utterly different families can defeat evil together.
It is also about romance , secret identities, and magic.
This is their account of what happened and how it happened, and this account was written down now in the year of King Liam XI and his lady wife. The account is from the points of view of two commoners, Stefan and Rosalie, and the prince (now King), Liam.
Here is something that should be known while reading this document. The old law that says that no commoners should be allowed inside of the castle unless they are servants has been abolished during the reign of King Liam. It used to be that if a commoner entered the palace grounds, he would suffer the wrath of the King, be it imprisonment, death, or extreme humiliation.
So here's the story of a Crown prince, a powerful magician, and a Princess of Thieves.
