In this spellbinding, fantasy-rich romance, a woman is swept into a world where she has the power to alter fairy tales, and change a kingdom's destiny...
To Kaley Arens, a PhD student and expert in folklore, fairy stories have always had a power and an allure beyond mere entertainment.
It's only when Kaley accompanies her lifelong friend Jobi on a visit to his home that she realizes how much she still has to learn. Bellis isn't the remote island that she believed it to be. It's another world—a stunningly beautiful and seductive one, with its own royalty, its own rules, and inhabitants who breathe life into the tales she was taught were fiction.
Kaley's presence is no simple holiday. She has a mysterious connection with Jobi and with Bellis, and abilities that may help determine this world's fate. Tasked with locating a lost prince, Kaley and her companions—the enigmatic Tanek, a member of the Order of Swans, and Sojee, Kaley's colossal bodyguard—journey through a land both thrilling and terrifying, where the uncanny and the familiar go hand in hand.
But in fairy tales, heroes and villains are easy to discern. Here, nothing is quite as it seems. And though Kaley is discovering that she can change the outcome of the fairy tales she knows so well, her own story is unfolding in ways impossible to predict, with a destiny she could never have foretold...

      Narrator Alexandra Hunter rescues a meandering fantasy and steers it into a highly enjoyable listen. She introduces Kaley Arens, who visits the islands of Bellis under the pretext of hearing new fairy tales for her dissertation. Once there, Kaley learns the islands are actually another planet. While there, she travels with companions Tanek and Sojee, watching Earth fairy tales play out in real life. Hunter helps listeners overcome disbelief at adventures that don't always tie together by connecting them firmly to Kaley's empathetic character, especially her love of animals. Hunter's voices for Kaley's companions accurately represent their otherworldly customs and priorities, which are spiced with humor and their growing affection for Kaley. Listeners don't have to understand where the story is heading to be team Kaley and team Hunter all the way. C.A. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
