No one understands what it's like when your mother is famous for her beauty and you are, at best, average. Actually I'm wrong. She wasn't famous just for her beauty, but that's how people tell the story, how people have always told the story. That was even her name for a while. No one remembered her real name. She was just the sleeping princess or Sleeping Beauty. Even all these years later, when the royals appear in the paper, my father, the king barely gets a mention and I'm only a footnote in my own life, destined to always be Sleeping Beauty's daughter.
My name's Princess Azia Rose of Draconis and here is my story... -

If there's one thing I hate more than humans, it's human mages. It's just my luck that the ambassador's son, Kaga, is one of the worst—a water mage.

Kaga selflessly sacrifices his voice to free us both, but getting home won't be so easy as we are pushed down to uncharted depths and through dangerous jungles. The more we're forced together, the more we realize that we don't hate each other as much as we thought. Maybe, just maybe it's the complete opposite.
But can I admit it before it's too late?
