Spy Princess

Lilah, a curious 12-year-old, grapples with the fading magic in her kingdom while questioning her uncle the king's priorities, which focus on military strength over the welfare of the impoverished children outside the palace. As she seeks answers, she feels disconnected from her brother Peitar, who is preoccupied with secretive correspondence, and faces pressure from her father to conform to courtly expectations. The story explores themes of social injustice, familial relationships, and the quest for understanding in a troubled kingdom.
