Chapter 4

I'd been Sarah Perez for twenty-six years. Only now did I find out my real name.

"I owe your mother a life," the King said. "And I owe you twenty-two years. If you want it, you'll be a princess starting today.

"If you don't, I'll give you a thousand gold pieces and send you out of the palace. After that, the sky's the limit."

I knelt there, listening to his words. But my mind was somewhere else entirely.

Back when I was four, Wyatt raised those scissors and asked me, "Left side or right side?"

He knew. Even back then.
