Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| ''I cut all day and I squared all night''~~<br />~~ ''And I thought I'd mined the mountain's might''~~<br />~~ ''Then I saw all my work by the bright dawn light''~~<br />~~ ''The mountain was the world and my labor a mite'' }} Line 11: One day, a messenger from the king comes to Mount Eskel to declare that all the girls aged 12-18 in the village must attend the titular "princess academy" to prepare for the day when one of them will be the prince's bride. Miri must compete with all the other girls for the chance to marry the prince, but she discovers that maybe there are other things better than being a princess. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This novel contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Alpha Bitch]]: Katar. {{quote\| '''Miri:''' I'm glad you spoke up or we could still be standing out here waiting.~~<br />~~ '''Katar:''' I'm a better diplomat than you and everyone knows it. It should've been me talking. Too bad for you that academy princess isn't based on who everyone likes best. }} * [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The linder hawk that Peder gives to Miri {{spoiler\|helps her to defeat Dan. See [[Improbable Weapon User]] below.}} * [[Cool Big Sis]]: Frid and Marda. * [[Costume Porn]]: The descriptions of the dresses the girls get to wear for the ball. Case in point -- {{quote\| ''Miri had never seen silk before, but she had read that it was the linder of cloth, and when the seamstress pulled a silk scarf from her bag, Miri could see why. It was heavy with brilliant colors swirled into a pattern of flowers yet shimmered secretly, like water under a crescent moon.''}} * [[Death by Childbirth]]: This and an earlier linder quarry accident did in Miri's [[Missing Mom]]. * [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Katar.
