Encanto's daughter

MJ Rodriguez has been hiding in the human world all her life, keeping a terrible secret: she is half Encanto. And since the girl is the only child of King Vivancio from Sirena's court, it is she who should inherit the royal throne after the sudden death of her father. Although before that, she still has to win back her right to the throne from the insidious Council, which is hostile to the half-blood ruler, as well as find the sorceress who is responsible for the death of her father. Finding herself in trouble, MJ forms a rather shaky alliance with the imposing Sir Lucas of the formidable court of Sigbin, and later falls in love with a mysterious knight. But when danger looms over Biringan, the princess must decide whether she can open her heart to love and bear the burden of royal duty at the same time. This is the first book in a teenage fantasy dylogy by Filipino-born author Melissa de la Cruz, who is undoubtedly inspired by the amazing mythology of her ancestors.
