Book 2

In this second book in New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor-winning author Shannon Hale’s Princess Academy series, Miri embarks on a brand-new life in the city.

Now that a princess has been chosen, Miri is thrilled at the chance to experience city life in the capital. She and her academy friends have traveled to Asland to help Britta prepare for her wedding. There, Miri also has the opportunity to study at the prestigious Queen’s Castle.

But not everything is as perfect as Miri hoped. As she befriends smart and world-wise students, Miri learns that they have alarming plans for a revolution. Torn between loyalty to her old friends and the allure of her new friends, between an old love and a new crush, and between the exciting city and her humble mountain home, Miri must decide where she stands.
