OFF
the THRONE

A novel by Zara Duong

When power no longer protects you — what remains of the soul?

In the world of fairies, each fairy is assigned an elemental power at a young age. However, the thirteen-year-old princess Cece hasn’t exhibited any powers. She was already old enough, but her potential hasn’t shown yet!
 
Her grumpy and spoiled attitude landed her in a disciplinary school for rebels. Now she must work hard to enter the prestigious royal academy. Despite that desire, when strange things keep happening, especially around her favorite creature, the gnomes, Cece can’t concentrate on her studies. She then quickly discovers a powerful villain at the center of all the recent frightening incidents.
 
Because of that discovery, she and five friends from her new school decide to come up with a plan to save the world before they can get back to their studies. But how can she save the world when she has no power?
Will they be able to bring hope back to the land?

Follow the Magic

In a kingdom of magic and secrets, a powerless princess must find her strength before darkness takes the throne. Step into the story—Off the Throne.

Every fairy in the realm is born with an elemental gift—except Princess Cece. At thirteen, she’s still waiting for her magic to appear. Her fiery temper and stubborn pride have already landed her in a disciplinary school for rebels, far from royal privilege. But when strange things begin to stir—especially around her beloved gnomes—Cece uncovers a mystery that could change everything.

As danger spreads across the land, Cece and her friends must rise to face a powerful villain threatening their world. Yet how can she fight when she has no power of her own?

Blending wonder, courage, and heart, Off the Throne is a story about believing in your strength even when the world tells you otherwise. It reminds us that true power doesn’t come from magic—it comes from who you choose to be.

Written by Zara Duong, an eleven-year-old Vietnamese-American author, this enchanting debut captures the timeless spirit of adventure and imagination.
