Yalya is a seventeen-year-old princess from Neutralis, whose life changes after she learns about her parents’ deaths.
While her brothers fight over the vacancy for King of Neutralis, she ventures off to poorer boroughs — of her class-divided island — to find out what had killed her parents.
On her quest, she learns that her sheltered life had blinded her from the injustices that other citizens in Neutralis face.
A journey she had thought to be effortless, soon presents fatal challenges that not only endanger her life, but the lives of people she cares about. (Independently published, 2016).
A year has nearly passed, yet Princess Yalya is nowhere close to finding her parents’ killer. Stranded and hopeless, in the poorest borough of Neutralis, she devises a new plan to get back to the Royals to find a killer.
With limited resources and no safe way of returning home, she joins forces with the most notorious citizens in Neutralis. When their plan goes against her beliefs, she finds herself battling more than one crisis. (Independently published, 2021).
