    About this ebook

    In retrospect, telling the prince that death surpasses marriage to him? Maybe a trifle theatrical…

    Now she stands at the edge of an ocean-side cliff in boggy, new-spring mud and a crown of ivy, hoping she can make the prince see reason.

    He says her magic can win him the war. She insists she has none.

    One of them is lying.

    A twisty riff on classic fairy tales about taking your future into your own hands. Don't miss the wedding of the season!

    Liana Brooks

    Liana Brooks once read the book GOOD OMENS by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and noted that both their biographies invited readers to send money (or banana daiquiris). That seems to have worked well for them. Liana prefers strawberry daiquiris (virgin!) and will never say no to large amounts of cash in unmarked bills. Her books are sweet and humorous with just enough edge to keep you reading past your bedtime. Liana was born in San Diego and in addition to there has lived in Illinois, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kansas. We'd like to tell you where she is right now, but last we checked she was researching books on both Alaska and Africa. Not only are the bookstore algorithms breaking trying to track this lady, but we can't tell you where to mail that daiquiri. Your best bet is to try Twitter where you can often find @LianaBrooks talking about her four kids, her giant dog, and plans for world domination.

      Stop Hating on Adjectives!

      A WEDDING OF SORTS

      ––––––––

      In retrospect, telling a narcissist  that I’d rather die than marry him was—perhaps—a touch theatrical. People like Prince Jarmien tend to take threats to their ego badly.

      My dress of pale ivory with forget-me-knots embroidered on the hem attempted to flutter in the pre-dawn breeze. It managed a feeble flap, but the mud on the hem weighed it down. It was a damp sort of morning, lacking the dramatic red sunrise the cliffs were known for.

      Sullen clouds clustered on the horizon, their whispering, conspiring breezes whipping the waves below into a frenzy.

      White caps of foam lashed against the gray stone of the cliffs, beating a steady tattoo. 

      I turned, bare feet sinking another inch into the cold mud. 

      The prince should have waited a few more weeks. Winter’s frost had barely retreated, leaving the fields soggy messes of bare, boggy earth and scraggly weeds.

      In another month the hills would be
