The Lost Princess

A princess with a wedding date she never chose walks out of the castle gate instead, and that's the whole engine of the plot. Brianna Voss has luxury, a crown-in-waiting, and no say in her own future, so she trades it for the road.

Raised soft inside the royal court, promised to a nobleman as a political favor, Brianna decides her fate is negotiable after all. She leaves Eldric and Isolde's palace behind to see what the rest of the world wants from her, and what she might want from it in return.

You follow her out of that gate and into whatever temptation, danger, and encounters the road throws at a runaway princess with no guards and no title to protect her. The current build is a fairly early rework, with the story and dialogue still being reshaped around her, so this is closer to a first chapter than a finished journey.
