    About this ebook

    Advance Praise:

    "A story of two young women born to dangerous, powerful families, with little chance of choosing their own paths in life. But they each have powers of their own, and it turns out they may have choices after all. Terrible choices. Another great story from one of my favorite authors." Orson Scott Card

    "Not your standard-issue princess tale! Mette Harrison weaves a tale of two princesses who come from very different courts and have very different powers. Both must navigate hazardous royal politics as they learn what it feels like to fall love—and what they must sacrifice to stay alive." Sharon Shinn

    "YA readers will love these two strong, but very different princesses in an exciting, romantic adventure." Jen Nielsen, author of The False Prince and The Runaway King

    Mette Ivie Harrison

    Mette Ivie Harrison has a PhD in Germanic literature and is the author of The Princess and the Hound; Mira, Mirror; and The Monster in Me. Of The Princess and the Bear, she says, "I never thought there would be a sequel to The Princess and the Hound, but when I read through the galleys, I realized that there was another book waiting in the story of the bear and the hound. In some ways, you might think of it more as a parallel novel than as a sequel, because it stands on its own as a new story. But who knows? Maybe I’ll look at these galleys and find another story demanding to be told." She lives with her family in Utah.

      Young King Jaap had come to Rurik this summer to improve relations between the two kingdoms. He had been invited nominally by King Heeron, but the old king was in his dotage. He was nearly sixty years old and had withered into a skeleton of a man. Jaap had seen him briefly on his first day here, carried on a pallet by guards dressed in livery with the red lion emblazoned on the front. The old king had waved a hand, but he had not spoken, and then he had been taken inside the castle to rest. Jaap had not seen him since.

      Aart was his eldest son and expected to inherit the throne within months or perhaps only weeks. Jaap had not realized that it must have been Aart who issued the invitation to him, and not King Heeron. But he had come because he had always believed in the prophecy:

      One child shall hold two weyrs.

      One child will hold two thrones.

      Two islands shall be one.

      Or the sea will swallow all.

      The two islands must be united. Weirland was the smaller island to the north where Jaap ruled, and it was
