The new series from Courtney Crumrin's Ted Naifeh continues! Princess Ülga's difficulty with Princess Academy earns her the nickname "Ugg" from her peers. But are these finely-dressed, mean-spirited princesses really her peers? And what happens when Ülga tries to fight back? It could be the Academy is no place for Ülga at all…

Invited to the palace of the heirless Queen Astoria of Atraesca, Ülga and the other princesses perform for her entertainment. But on their way back to the academy, the girls find themselves prisoners of a political plot concocted by Julifer's father, the Prime Minister.

The Grimmerians abandon their fight against the frost giants after learning Ülga's being held in captivity. Using what little she's learned of diplomacy, Ülga tries to find a way to end the threat of war before the kingdoms destroy each other, but she'll need the help of the other princesses.

Princess Ülga isn't your standard princess, but her royal lineage goes back for generations. At her mother's bequest, Ülga travels to the city-state of Atraesca, where the prestigious Princess Academy lies, so that she can learn about things like diplomacy—hopefully for the benefit of her rough and tumble people. But Ülga will learn that she's more behind in her studies than she realized—and that when you're a princess, you're bound to have a few enemies.
