Violet Eyes

A magical and dynamic retelling of the classic tale, The Princess and the Pea.

The daughter of an impoverished farmer, Violet has spent seventeen years helping her parents by working in the house and in the field. Then a storm brings the dashing Prince Richard to her family's farm. The two fall in love at first sight, but Richard's parents will only let him marry a princess of their choosing, a lady of the highest nobility and sensitivity. Now on a quest to be reunited with her true love, Violet must compete with princesses to pass the king and queen's tests, which have been devised to prove sensitivity and spirit. Relying on her wits and a little help from an unexpected source, Violet must demonstrate the depth of her character, if she is to prove herself worthy of being Richard's bride and live happily ever after.
