About this ebook

 A dutiful daughter. A prince forced to find a bride. If the shoe fits...

Once upon a time...

When the Emperor's army comes recruiting, Mai signs up, seeing it as the perfect escape from her stepmother and a lifetime of drudgery. Armed with her mother's armour and a pair of magic shoes, Mai marches off to war...only to find herself sharing a tent with the General's arrogant nephew, Prince Yi.

The best swordsman in the Empire, Prince Yi wants to make war, not love, but the Emperor insists this will be Yi's last campaign before he must marry. Prince Yi has never met his match...until now.

Can one woman win the war and the prince's heart?

Ratings and reviews

I appreciate it starting with Mai trying to find her place in her world, & what should be her calling go to war.Her stepmothercreates an illusion were she's seen as man. this is a retold story with action, so it's great👍that our heroine gets the prince. good retelling.

Twist on the classic tale, right down to the shoe. I was swept up in the story so much I laughed cried and cheered. A humble girl raised by her warrior hardened father, who taught her the beautiful art of fighting and the diligence of training everyday. I've read some of the other classic tales you've wrote and I can't get enough. Thank you. I'll be looking for more to sweep me off my feet!

Such a terrific story. Thank you for lighting up the vision and imagination, and curling my 69 year old toes. "Ah yes, I remember it well".
