Once upon a time, in a world not so different from ours... Sarah Tressarian is the Peace Princess of Dicrandia, a constitutional monarchy where the War and Peace parties have feuded since before the webiverse and before indoor plumbing. Their feuding caused the royal family split that brought in parliamentary democracy centuries ago. Sarah has no problem with the fight. The War Royals, like Prince Philip, are all arrogant jerks bent on destroying the country. At least, that's what she thinks until she gets to know Phil. And until monsters and fairies rise from the murk of legend to invade Dicrandia's Northwest. Now, to bring safety, Sarah must not only relearn the magic her people have forgotten, but also do what no one has done for centuries -forge a stable alliance between War and Peace.
