Amira (amirabookishramblings) | 4 comments I think this book was published fairly recently, in the last few years or so. I remember the girl (who was around 15) cutting off all her hair at the beginning, before running away and becoming a stowaway on a ship.

There might have been something about an overbearing mother and an arranged marriage? It was told in alternate chapters- from the POV of the princess who runs away and the person who has been hired to find her. There may also have been some romantic elements.

The book was greeny grey and had the faces of the two main characters on the cover. I think there was also an illustration of a map on the first page of the book.

Thanks for the help :)

Hm, this is just a guess and the cover doesn't match your description entirely, but Take Back the Skies has a girl disguising herself as a boy and stowing away on an airship to avoid an arranged marriage.


Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 453 comments I don't remember the first part, but The Kiss of Deception follows almost everything else.

Amira (amirabookishramblings) | 4 comments Neither of those are the book I'm thinking of, but thanks anyway :)

I'm not 100% sure about the arranged marriage thing, I think it was mentioned as a reason for her running away but it may not have been a very prominent part of the story.

The Princetta by Anne-Laure Bondoux?
Swept to Sea by Heather Manning?

Amira, is this a historical or fantasy novel?
