Sitara, Lady of the Lotus

Inspired by a Korean folktale, a Bengali princess attends a prestigious Korean academy...

Sitara has been insecure about her N'daian heritage for as long as she can remember. With a culture, religion, and appearance foreign to Oreka-the kingdom her parents immigrated to-Sitara's anxious tendencies make her doubt everything.

Attending the Royal Academy, Sitara feels out of place and alone. The three years at the academy are meant to shape her-but into what? A palace officer like her crush, Sir Jun-Seo, a royal tailor like her best friend Saya, or a lady investigator like the kind Madam Joon-bin?

Where exactly can a N'daian princess like Sitara belong in Oreka?

SITARA, LADY OF THE LOTUS, explores friendship, first love, and self-acceptance.
