None other than the queen can see beyond the illusion of beauty. None see that she appears to be bone and ashes. No one else realizes that the child drinks blood and even kills.

The king soon demands Galiana's hand, wishing for more straw-spun-gold, more wealth, and more power. As he becomes corrupt entirely, Ryszard must utilize a power stronger than his magic, that of love or perhaps hope.

After Eleonore's devil-bird minions unleash her on an unsuspecting royal ball, Angelique must join forces with the king to save Fantasia before Eleonore destroys it."
"At only sixteen years of age, she is a beautiful terror, with her wavy blond locks and her shockingly violet eyes. Her skin is as fair as she is foul. Only I can stop her. Only I dare to rise up against her, for the sake of a kingdom that is not my own.
Others may scorn me for interfering, but interfere I must. I will not allow this exquisite monster to harm more than she already has.
Some might call me the monster, but I? I know the truth, and I will not hesitate to do what I must.
This gripping retelling will make you question if perhaps the fairy had the right of it for placing the princess under the sleeping curse.
