Tattered Heart: Volume 1 (Princess Kingdom) - Softcover

Once upon a time a wicked curse fell upon a princess. Reviled by her court; adrift in fairy magic; only she can unlock the power to save her kingdom... and herself.

In the kingdom of Amaranyllis, only the princesses have the power to control the errant magic constantly threatening to cross over from the boundary of fairie. But the princess is lost; hidden from a curse with the desperate hope that she will become the salvation of their kingdom.

She cannot, however, elude her destiny. Aribella must take her rightful place and contend with the dangers hidden in royal life. Beyond the unpredictable fairie storms inside the palace; behind political treachery; in the midst of suitors and the perils of falling in love, there lies a secret that could be her undoing...

This loose Sleeping Beauty retelling offers a captivating world of royal legacies and fairy blood, laced with romance in the fairy tale retelling of a princess lost and found again.

TATTERED HEART is a young adult fairy tale set in an enchanted kingdom full of danger and friendship and more than one prince charming. It is the first book in the PRINCESS KINGDOM, a richly imagined world of fairytale retellings full of sweet romance, compelling characters and fairy magic.

Fans of Robin McKinley, Melanie Dickerson, and Juliet Marillier will enjoy TATTERED HEART and the other books in the PRINCESS KINGDOM series.

Stories have pretty much always consumed Annie's life. She enjoys films, devours books and can watch three full seasons of tv in a good four day weekend. This has given rise to the belief among her nephews that she is the foremost authority on all things super hero, fantasy and sci fi. While she lived in LA she worked in tv and film production and, oddly enough, learned to write fairy tales. She began writing her own fairy tale because she still believes in a world of gallant heroes, where princesses are not frivolous things and honor is not for the faint of heart.
