A scrappy maid must outsmart both palace nobles and gods in this laugh-out-loud, lush and lively young adult fantasy retelling of The Goose Girl.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, kind princess, and her wicked maid.
One day, the wicked maid stole the princess's face, and with it her name, her betrothed - everything. The princess had to toil away as a servant, while her maid lived like a queen.
When the maid was caught, she died for her crimes, and the princess lived happily ever after . . . or that is how the story has been told.
Now, it's time to hear the other side of the story . . .
