Rogue Princess is a sci-fi YA retelling of Cinderella, gender-swapped and set in space. Princess Delia is forced into an arranged marriage to save her dying planet, but she dreams of true love and a better way. When she discovers a plot to overthrow the monarchy, she steals a spaceship and flees, only to be joined by a stowaway: Aidan, a handsome thief who was trying to steal palace trinkets.
Delia and Aidan are initially at odds, but they soon work together to uncover the rebel plot and save the planet. Along the way, they develop feelings for each other, but their love is forbidden. Delia is a princess, and Aidan is a commoner. They must also contend with the fact that Delia is engaged to another man.
As the stakes rise, Delia and Aidan must decide what is more important: their duty to their kingdom or their love for each other. In the end, they must find a way to save the planet and their love.
In addition to the romantic plot, The Rogue Princess also explores themes of social class, environmentalism, and the right to choose one’s own destiny. Delia is a strong and independent princess who refuses to be defined by her royal status or her impending marriage. She fights for what she believes in, even if it means going against her parents and the expectations of society.
The Rogue Princess is a fast-paced and exciting adventure story with a heartwarming romance at its core. It is a story about finding your own path in life and following your heart, no matter what obstacles stand in your way.
Here are some additional details that I have added to the rewrite:
- Delia’s planet is dying due to environmental destruction. The royal family has been trying to find a way to save the planet, but they have been unsuccessful.
- The rebel plot is led by a group of people who believe that the monarchy is corrupt and incompetent. They want to overthrow the monarchy and establish a new government.
- Delia and Aidan must use their different skills and talents to uncover the rebel plot and save the planet. Delia has access to royal resources and information, while Aidan is a skilled thief and has a network of contacts on the black market.
- Delia’s engagement to the other prince is a political alliance that is essential for the survival of her kingdom. However, Delia does not love the other prince, and she is reluctant to marry him.
