[close] All Mardelia has ever known is the dark magic of her ancestral witches. She has never been allowed to cast a love spell, play with the fairies in her part of the forest, or even buy new clothes from the traders near the castle. However, that is all about to change. Urged by her mother to cast a spell on King Alastair and Queen Rowena’s baby princess, Mardelia curses the newborn to die at the age of twenty-one by pricking her finger on a spinning needle. Thinking she has finally made her horrible mother proud of her and finding she couldn’t have been more wrong, Mardelia sets out on a journey to find a counter-curse for the princess. Meeting new friends, making new discoveries, and maybe even falling in love are all in store for Mardelia…as long as everything goes exactly as planned! [close]
