New body, new universe, deadly problems.As if waking up in the body of a young teenage girl wasn’t bad enough, I couldn’t remember my own name.Worse, it turns out I’m the princess, second heir to the throne, in a kingdom full of infighting and on the brink of collapse. Advisors, nobles, people supposed to be on my side, have their own plans for the throne – the only thing keeping me alive.I don’t know why I’m here, what’s going on, or what to do. But if I don’t figure it out quickly, I’m not going to remain a living princess very long.And, yeah, I awoke tied to a tree in the enemy army. The one that just killed the king, this body’s father.---In a gritty medieval world that doesn’t pull punches, Princess Cayce struggles to adjust. A land of terrifying magic, ever-present warfare, deeply rooted patriarchy and, well, a lot of limitations on how a princess can behave. ---What to expect: - an isekai that, over the course of the story, explores why the main character is in this world (though not in book 1) - no harem, nor murderhobo - a realistic description of introducing new technologies to an ancient technology society - the world is based on Macedonian-era tech plus a tiny bit of medieval tech (I like big swords) - realistic descriptions of Macedonian-type military battles - realism in how the main character reacts to horrific events (ptsd) - this story is complete at about 2000 pages and I will be posting 1 chapter per weekday - the main character is very flawed Trigger warnings: - there are (failed) sexual assaults - plenty of swearing, but the main character is trying to quit Copyright Notice: I did not give Novels2.com permission to post my story on their website.
