When Zita discovers that she is more than just a servant in the castle -- that she's actually the thirteenth princess -- she is overjoyed. She is thrilled to find out she has sisters who love her. She eagerly anticipates Sunday night when she can sneak up to their bedroom and spend the night with them. But there is something horribly wrong going on. Her sisters are falling sick. They are too weak to do anything but lie around in bed. It is only with the help of Zita's friend the stableboy and his brother that they are able to discover what is wrong and fix it.
This is a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses fairytale. I started listening to this as an audiobook but had difficulties getting it play in my car so I switched to reading the book. I'm glad I did. This is a good retelling of the fairy tale with the introduction of some new characters to the story including a thirteenth princess and the soldier's brother.
