If you loved Mai Mai Miracle, try Princess Arete

What they share

What Princess Arete is
A drafty tower. Winter moonlight on a chessboard. A pampered princess trades silk slippers for stolen dice games, imprisoned by a paranoid sorcerer who hoards youth like a miser. One razor-sharp chamber escape.
