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 is anxious about everything she does. Attending the Royal Academy, Sitara records her school life in a series of journal entries. 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 only friend Saya, or a lady investigator like the wise Madame Joon-bin? Where exactly does a N'daian princess like Sitara belong in Oreka? SITARA, LADY OF THE LOTUS, explores friendship, first love, and self-acceptance.
