Thrown into a nasty rebellion by a schoolgirl prank gone wrong, Aleria is shielded by a spy who seems too enthusiastic about their violent charade.
Aleria is typical of her class: talented, pretty, and spoiled. Her search for a challenge drops her into serious trouble, her only aid from a dubious source. The lingering effects of this exploit lead her to decisions that few young ladies would dare to consider.
Haunted by the paralyzing fear of might-have-been, she turns to martial training to regain her confidence. However, her new skills lead her into even more danger, with life-changing results.
This is a coming-of-age tale with a far-from-normal conclusion. In real life, Cinderella might not want the Prince; sometimes Snow White decides she likes it much better in the forest.
A darker, more violent story for the older YA and Adult market.
The whole book is available to any who wish to read it.
