Prologue

Long ago there lived a spoiled, wickedly cruel princess with no love in her heart though she had everything she could possibly desire. Then one night everything changed when an Enchanter placed her and all that lived in her castle under a powerful curse. A curse that only she had the power to break, but the Princess soon fell into despair, for who could ever learn to love such a hideous serpentine monster as herself.
