PERSIAN PRINCESS
NUBIAN QUEEN
EUROPEAN KING
ASIAN PRINCE

A connected educational adventure series built around four young royal-world viewpoints. Each story explores geography, technology, art, clothing, food, trade, writing, architecture and daily life while keeping the characters adventurous, curious and child-friendly.

PERSIA

The Persian Princess

Palaces, gardens, roads, couriers, trade routes, textiles, languages, engineering and the enormous cultural reach of ancient Persia — presented through a young princess learning how her world works.

NUBIA / KUSH

The Nubian Queen

The Nile south of Egypt, Kushite kingdoms, gold, trade, craftsmanship, pyramids, royal leadership and the distinct cultural identity of Nubia — not treated as an extension of Egypt.

EUROPE • WORKING CHARACTER

The European King

A young king whose journeys introduce children to distinct European kingdoms, regions and eras through castles, cities, trade routes, navigation, engineering, art, food, clothing and daily life. Every story will identify its exact place and historical period rather than treating Europe as one culture.

ASIA • WORKING CHARACTER

The Asian Prince

A young prince whose journeys introduce children to distinct Asian regions, cities, trade routes, inventions, art, food, architecture and everyday life. Each story will name its exact culture, place and historical period rather than blending Asia into one generic setting.

Editorial standard: these stories distinguish historical evidence from legend or later interpretation, keep Persia, Nubia and individual European and Asian cultures distinct, and use age-appropriate cultural history. Specific royal names, dynasties and identities are not invented until each character canon is approved.
