Stella Must Die

Following the death of her father, the King of Hillvalley, Princess Stella is thrust into a perilous succession crisis that threatens to tear the kingdom apart. With the monarch gone, the royal court descends into uncertainty, leaving the young princess vulnerable to those who hunger for power. Chief among them is her stepsister, Illusia, who immediately moves to eliminate Stella from the line of succession and claim the throne for herself. Illusia wastes no time orchestrating a series of deadly assassination attempts against her stepsister. Yet, despite her ruthless determination, every plot mysteriously unravels before it can s쳮d. The failures leave the would-be usurper baffled and the kingdom whispering with suspicion, as each carefully laid scheme goes inexplicably awry. What neither Illusia nor the rest of the royal court realizes is that Princess Stella is not truly defenseless. A hidden protector watches over the young royal, intervening from the shadows to thwart every lethal strike. Most astonishing of all, this silent guardian operates from the most unlikely of places, ensuring that Stella survives long enough to face the treacherous battle for her rightful crown.
