Eyes of the Prince
Imagine a Netherlands with knights, prophecies, strange beasts... and magic
Fifteen-year-old Bente is an ordinary girl living in the Dutch town of Molenpoort, where nothing exciting ever happens—except in her dreams, where she’s a brave hero who saves her people from danger. One day, those dreams lead her to the Zevenmill.
Leaving the Netherlands—and everyone she loves—behind, Bente steps into the unknown.
She arrives in Hollandos, a world that mirrors her own in culture and geography but is wildly different in every other way: enchanted forests, shark-infested seas, a roaring volcano, and a sprawling steampunk city. But beneath the wonder, danger brews. An exiled prince is plotting to seize the Starcrown and plunge Hollandos into darkness.
Stranded with no way home, Bente pushes forward and meets a mysterious inventor. That's when she discovers there is a way back home—one that puts her on a daring quest across this strange new world.
Will Bente rise as the hero she always dreamed of being—or remain trapped in Hollandos forever?
