Chapter 1: A Fairytale Falls Apart

Princess by day, ninja by night

A princess in ancient Japan named Lapis Lazuli has lived a sheltered life. She's never left the palace, mainly because her mother and the royal staff are overprotective of her. Lapis has grinned and bared it for years. But when the empress arranged for her daughter to marry a prince she never met, the princess decided that was the final straw. She runs away and happens upon a secret ninja academy where she becomes a student there. Meanwhile, an evil plot is afoot that could threaten all of Japan (maybe even the world.) This could be Lapis' chance to prove that she's more than a pretty princess and save her country.
