Tuala

Tuala is the no-nonsense, scientific-minded princess of the Lily Court. On her eighteenth birthday, her kingdom hosts a competition to find Tuala's true love and future co-ruler of the Lily Court. The Elder Fae, Cliodhna, had given Tuala the gift of true love at her Christening and so the competition is a test in order to find him. Tuala loves to stress bake, read, and her notebook to take notes in (so she can keep track on the large amount of suitors at her door). Despite all the mishaphs, poor dates, and bothersome frogs, Tuala finds her true love and fairytale prince in Naven, Prince of the Juniper Court.  

Introduction to Tuala in the books

If you ever meet a talking frog—any chatty amphibian, really—my advice would be to ignore it. That’s what I should have done, anyway. It was the most important day of my life. My eighteenth birthday. I was beyond nervous, so I spent the morning in my papa’s industrial kitchen in France, making my birthday cake.
