Sold as slaves to an arrogant prince, I must protect my sister at all costs.
Triska has always been the pretty one, the one everybody loves. But with her beauty comes a mind that is naïve and childlike, more concerned with others' feelings than her own wellbeing. Ever since we were children it was my duty to look after her. A duty I take seriously.
Born with a face so ugly my parents considered leaving me to die, I have had to fight for the right to exist my whole life. Triska is the only one who has ever loved me. In the eyes of our new master, Prince George, I'm not even a person. He can't even be bothered to learn my real name, instead calling me 'Goblin'.
I don't care what he or anybody else thinks of me, but I know I must protect my twin. This proves difficult when she is taken into the palace and I am tasked with caring for the pigs. From the glint in the prince's eyes when he grasps Triska by the hips, I know what's going on in there. Killing him is too risky, but there has to be a way to escape.
My chance comes in the most unlikely form. Desperate to rid the kingdom of an ogre that has been terrorizing it for years, the king declares that whoever brings back its head will be given whatever they wish.
I will kill the ogre and win freedom for my sister and myself. Failure is not an option.
