Fairytale princes didn't exist, and even if they did, they didn't fall in love with ugly ducklings like her. Or so she'd thought, until she found herself living the closest thing to a fairytale that real-life could produce.

A prince disappears and returns with his life forfeit. A peasant girl goes in search of her lost love and is betrayed. The two are connected by a curse, an adventure, and finally, a chance at redemption and abiding love. An alternative fairy tale story based on my other work, My Strawberry Dream Wedding.
