AND Because We Love Our Readers – BONUS STORY INSIDE!!!

Once upon a time, in the distant land of Cymeria, an evil faerie, knowledgeable in the field of divination and dark magic, prophesized that a girl child would be born to the King and Queen. The child would be a fair woman, with golden hair, and green eyes as bright as emeralds. Jealous of the predicted beauty of the future Princess Avandra, the evil faerie cursed the child to prick her finger on an enchanted needle on her eighteenth birthday and die. But the good faeries of the kingdom intervened on her behalf and made it so that instead of death the kingdom would fall into a deep slumber that could be broken if the Princess received true love’s kiss.
