The Tale of The Maid And The Prince

In a crumbling kingdom ruled by a careless and power-hungry king, Prince Toziel—known as Tozy—is seen as weak, unfit to rule, and overshadowed by his war-hero sister, Princess Jane. While the kingdom wages a destructive war against the neighboring city of Darylgranger, Tozy quietly questions the violence and begins to see the truth behind his father’s rule: a reign built on fear, lies, and suffering. His world shifts when he reconnects with Emma, a low-born maid from his childhood. Unlike the nobles around him, Emma sees the human cost of the war. When she is accused of treason for taking battle plans, Tozy discovers her true motive—she sought to protect her family from the king’s plan to burn innocent villages to win the war. Forced to choose between loyalty to his bloodline and his own conscience, Tozy defies the kingdom. He helps Emma escape, openly challenging the authority of his father and the cruelty of the royal court. As a result, he is imprisoned and branded a traitor. But imprisonment changes him. With the help of an old friend, Issori, Tozy escapes captivity, no longer the passive, uncertain prince he once was. Now hunted by his own kingdom and cut off from his past, he sets out on a dangerous path—one that may lead him to Darylgranger, the truth about his family, and ultimately, a rebellion against the throne itself. The Tale of The Maid and The Prince is a story of moral awakening, forbidden loyalty, and the cost of choosing what is right over what is expected—where a prince must decide if he will inherit a broken kingdom… or burn it down to rebuild something better.
