A stolen identity inside the palace

Nina’s life changes when Prince Azure casts her as the dead princess-priestess Alisha, whose distinctive eyes match her own. The setup brings together a displaced street survivor, a royal household, and questions of trust and self-determination. Romance is entangled with palace intrigue: Nina’s growing feelings for Azure sit alongside the knowledge that she is expected to marry someone else. As volume 17 of a fantasy shojo manga series, this installment belongs to a longer story built around Nina’s imposed role and her struggle to retain a say in her life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of fantasy shojo manga with palace settings and romantic complications
  • Readers interested in mistaken identity and a heroine resisting an imposed role
  • Those following Nina’s ongoing story across the series

Book overview

Nina was plucked off the streets because she resembled a dead priestess--but is this a lucky break, or a new kind of curse? Winner of the Kodansha Manga Award, this fantasy shojo manga features intertwining constellations of palace intrigue and perilous romance, for fans of The Ancient Magus' Bride, The Apothecary Diaries, and Snow White With the Red Hair.

Nina had a rough start to life, orphaned and stealing to survive, only to be abducted for her unusual lapis lazuli eyes. But to her surprise, her captor, Prince Azure, ordained that she would live the life of a princess...specifically, that of the recently deceased princess-priestess, Alisha, who had her same eyes. Despite her changing fortune, Nina won't give up her old life without a fight. Azure might just be the one to finally match her wits, but how much can she trust him? And can she stop the feelings budding in her heart, knowing she must eventually marry another...?
