Description
What happens when you meet Prince Charming and he isn't "the one" for you? Princess Adeline of Once-upon-a Time has ruled for four years, but cannot be a proper queen until she marries a prince. Unfortunately, this is a real deal breaker for the citizens of her kingdom. She hopes Prince Darrick of Happily, Ever After (Creature Magazine's "Prince Charming of the Year") is the solution to her problem. Unbeknownst to the princess, the evil sorceress, Lady Jacqueline, devises her own designs for these two, young royals. With ravens, dragons and Shadow People at her disposal, Jacqueline is an enemy not to be underestimated from her distant realm of Distress. Adeline, weary of her lonely life always under critique, must decide what she wants most. Will she allow herself to fall for the charming Darrick, despite his immature air, or will she choose duty and her kingdom's best interests above her own happiness? Her mysterious handmaiden, Eudora, and oldest friend, Gillroy, urge her to find a balance between self-sacrifice and self-care, but Adeline finds the conundrum exhausting. When Lady Jacqueline arrives and whispers tempting words of a path to freedom, will Adeline take the bait, even as it leads her to the Forest of No Return? Twists along the way end in a Fairy Tale wedding, but who is getting married and will it be a happy union?
