Prince Freya, Vol. 11

To save her kingdom, a simple village girl must live a royal lie.

The powerful kingdom of Sigurd has slowly been conquering all the lands that share its borders, and now it has turned its voracious attention to the small, resource-rich Tyr.

But should their prince fall, so too shall Tyr...

Despite her tearful farewell, the people of Asha aren’t ready to lay down their arms. With whisperings of an ancient alliance now spreading across the nations, Freya and her companions’ journey to stop the Sigurdian Empire continues...
