Bookroo's summary

Violet, trapped in a tower by the wicked Queen Bogdana, holds the beauty the queen covets. When summoned to train as a princess, Violet's hopes rise, only to shatter as her mother is banished. With the kingdom under a dark spell and her family torn apart, Violet's courage and spirit are tested. Can she defy the queen and restore her family's bond?

From the publisher

Ever since she could remember, Violet and her mother have been locked away in a tower by the evil Queen Bogdana, who has the kingdom under her spell. The queen has all she wants except one thing-beauty. Violet possesses this beauty. She also has a secret: though she is very small, both her spirit and her heart are mighty. When Violet is summoned by Bogdana to start training to become a real princess, it seems like her life might be taking a turn for the better. But hope quickly fades when Violet’s mother is expelled from the castle and they’re forbidden to see each other ever again. With everyone’s lives in the balance, it’s up to Violet to break the spell and reunite her family.
