Bookroo's summary

Princess Violet longs to prove her courage and strength, just like her brothers. Forbidden by her father and mocked by her siblings, she disguises herself as a boy to enter a knights' jousting tournament. As she competes, Violet's intelligence and bravery are put to the test. Will she reveal her true identity and claim her freedom, or will her secret be discovered? Dive into this adventurous tale where courage knows no bounds and identity is a powerful weapon.

From the publisher

Envious of her brothers who are in training to become knights, young Violetta disguises herself as a boy in order to take part in the big jousting contest in the hopes of showing everyone that she is just as capable.
