Runaway Cecilia

By Catherine Duffy

A missing princess, an honourable knight and a quest for identity combine in this fast-paced retelling of Rapunzel, as you've never seen her before...When a Calgarian princess disappears without a trace from behind palace walls, there is little hope for her safe return. But when word reaches King Lars that his daughter may be living in an enemy kingdom, he will do anything to get her back.Cecilia Alarcon can't remember a time before she came to live in Avinada as a noblewoman's orphaned ward. Raised under the calculating Duchess Frida, she has lived her life in forced solitude, but when secrets begin to unravel, she must embark on a perilous journey to discover her true identity. Marcus Cervantes' highest duty is to protect the Calgarian crown, even at the cost of his own life. When the king tasks him to retrieve his long-lost daughter, it is an order he cannot refuse.Thrown together by duty and danger, Marcus and Cecilia must navigate pirate battles, secret identities, courtly drama and daring rescues if they are to make it across the ocean alive.With friends and foes watching their every move, what will they sacrifice for their freedom?
