The Tao of Being Princess
Book Synopsis:
Princess is under pressure by her parents to pick a prince to marry. Though she has
many suitors over ma number of years, none can quite meet her expectations of a lifetime mate.
First there had been Luchisimo of Amanapa. Though not too tall, he was dark and handsome.
With long black hair, deep-set earnest brown eyes, he was a handsome prince of noble character.
She even journeyed beyond the stable doors, where she is forbidden to meet him and accompany
him on a gallop in the Royal woods. He wooed her, but she only made his life miserable.
"Pray tell, what are your ideas of marriage, and what would be my duties," she baited him.
He made it plain that as the future Queen of Amanapa she would be at his beck and call at
all times. She would bear him an heir to his kingdom and her own. Indeed, this was far from
her ideal of marriage.
The King and Queen were not happy with her independent views.
Then Prince Stoks of Williamsburg came to her kingdom. HE was one of the wealthiest princes
in all the land. HE was breathtaking in looks, and the most well-built man she had ever seen.
But he was also "the stingiest man alive," and spoke in whines. He longed to wed her, but she
would rather spend time with her horse, Es Oro. His plans were to present her with a fake ring
whilst keeping the real one tucked away. Please!
Finally, while reading at the Royal pond, from the murky depths of the pond a Toad popped out.
As he hopped toward her, his chest tightened and his breath came short. There was something
familiar about her. With one final mighty hop, he landed right on the pages of her book. He
found himself staring right into her clear, doubtfully colored eyes. Likewise, she found
herself holding her breath in his gaze.
She spoke to him without reason, knowing that Toads cannot speak, demanding that he get
off her book. To her utter amazement, her request was answered.
"Sorry Mistress," he sighed, jumping from the muddy book. As unlikely as it was, this
meeting became the beginning of an unlikely relationship.
Did the Toad kiss her and become a Prince? Was he already a Prince? Did they live happily
ever after? Read this remarkable adult fairy tale and become entwined in its pages. The Tao
of Being Princess is a tale to rival those of the ages.
