Prologue

Growing up Evie's life was tough. Her mother always put pressure on her to look perfect every hour of every day. If her hair wasn't curled properly, nail beds trimmed, or her face blemish free she would be sent to room and locked in there until her mother felt it was time to let her out. The Evil Queen did not show a lot of compassion for the young girl and even had her bedroom, in the rundown castle, be the tallest tower so that she could never escape. Every night her mother would read her stories of beautiful princesses in far off lands with perfect princes. Besides being perfect, Evie was not allowed to marry anyone other than a prince because she was of royal blood. What happens when Evie meets a fearsome pirate and possibly falls in love with him?
