Welcome back to the Five Hundred Kingdoms, where the greatest fortune is the one you make...

The seventh daughter of the Sea King, Ekaterina is more than a pampered princess--she's also the family spy. Which makes her the perfect emissary to discover secrets in the neighboring kingdom...and nothing interests her more than Sasha, the seventh son of the king of Belrus. She suspects he's far from the fool people think he is, but before she can find out what lies beneath his façade, she runs into trouble...

Kidnapped and trapped in a Jinn's castle, Ekaterina knows her chances of being found are slim. Now fortune, a fool and a paper bird are the only things she can count on to escape--along with her own clever mind and intrepid heart....
