Once upon a time there was a princess . . . by @katedagg (Kate Dagger)

. . . But she was no damsel-in-distress! Cassia Roland, princess of the realm of Callaron, and heroine of the Flamehawk Saga. Fed up with the weak, isolated life set for her, Cassia secretly trained in the art of combat. Because her family would never let her fight, she donned a mask and took the name "Flamehawk", taking to the city streets to fight crime. No one except a few close friends knows that Princess Cassia and Flamehawk are the same, but Cassia dreams of one day shedding her disguise and being recognized as a real warrior.
