Dawn of the Arcana (vol. 1) / Rei Toma / 187 pgs. / 1st in a Series!

Princess Nakaba is in a forced arranged marriage with Prince Caesar in order to keep their two warring countries at peace for a few years.  Prince Caesar is powerful and handsome, but also selfish and possessive.  He constantly berates and teases Nakaba and tries to control her.  Nakaba's only friend is her loyal servant Loki.  Loki is in the lowest class of society as he is half human and half dog, but he is willing to do anything to protect her.

This series is setting up for a love triangle that teen girls will love.  Although I am not excited about the idea that the princess will feel attracted to the powerful, good looking, but controlling, mean jerk of a prince.  The idea that the worse the guy treats the girl the more she wants him is NOT the message I would want to be sending.   But, I may be assuming to much, time will tell, that is if I continue to read this series.
