Just after midnight on a rain soaked highway, a man jumps in front of a car full of teenagers. Minutes after turning nineteen, Kalliope Harris finds herself searching the side of the road for a dead body. Not exactly how she expected to spend her birthday – then again, neither was speeding down the highway with a trunk full of stolen money. Things seem to never work out the way Kalliope expects them to. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Kalliope is on a different planet – full of princesses, dark magic, and lions that look like lizards. And some weird guy is spouting off about destinies. It's every girl's dream to be a princess; what happens when that dream becomes a reality? “I was the evil villain in my own story. Oh well, we couldn't all be princesses.”
