The Perils Of Being Good by Alison Colwell in Crow And Cross Keys

They tell the princess she can do anything, be anyone. And then they tell her she must marry and have children for the good of the kingdom. But that’s not what she wants. She doesn’t want the suitors. She doesn’t want children.

She can do anything she wants, but she has to sit on top of the glass mountain. She has to wait and see who is clever, or lucky, or fated enough to climb it and marry her. They could do anything they wanted. Maybe, if they really wanted to marry her… but what they want is the princess.

She can do anything she wants.
