Notorious for leaping off roofs, maiming foreign royals, and that twerking incident, Brinley Cantrella of Estau is nobody’s definition of a good princess.

She now has the crown and the prince, and on the surface, life is good—but is being married to a man everyone swears could never love her back good enough?
