Books like The Ordinary Princess by M.M. Kaye


Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: ordinariness, setting her apart from her six beautiful sisters who favor harp, embroidery, and the throne. Seeking adventure over tradition, she flees when her royal parents arrange a marriage. In her escape, Amy easily slips into the role of the fourteenth assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. There, she encounters a prince as ordinary—and as special—as she is, and together they embark on unexpected adventures that challenge the very expectations of their royal worlds.
