The Princess Diaries meets Amari and the Night Brothers in a story about a girl who discovers she is the key to unlocking an ancient curse from an award-winning author
 
For her twelfth birthday, the only thing adoptee Zahara-Grace wants is to figure out who she is. Zahara-Grace is thrilled when she’s gifted a DNA test kit, but she never imagined it would lead her biological grandfather to her. And she definitely never imagined he’d be the king of a small African country!

Her worlds collide when a local museum opens an exhibit showcasing the history and legends of her biological family’s country—and draws the attention of an ancient cult who believe with the help of a living heir, they can awaken the mummified remains of a powerful king and conquer the world. Learning she’s a princess may have turned Zahara-Grace’s life upside down, but now her life is in actual danger. And in order to survive, she must find a way to embrace both sides of herself.
