A soldier returning from war, Galen obtains employment in the King's gardens and finds himself wrapped up in the mystery of the twelve princesses and their worn out dancing slippers.

But after all fail it's finally up to Galen to solve the mystery and thereby proving himself worthy of respect and the eldest princess's love. An instant delight to all who enjoy lighthearted romances, Princess of the Midnight Ball is both captivating and lovely. The main character Galen portrays intelligence, kindness, and sincerity and proves himself worthy of the king and the princesses' trust.
