Notes from The Radical Reader:

  • Noble Characters: This series follows the adventures of three little girls: the spoiled princess Rosalynn, her daughter Rosewyn, and a young slave girl named Krea. Divided by time but unified by the struggle to protect their beloved home, these three girls fight to restore the kingdom of Bracken to its past glory and beauty.
