Alex McGilvery has been reading since before he can remember, and writing almost that long. He has published 18 books and is author and editor at his imprint Celticfrog Publishing. He lives in Kamloops with his dog and the stories clawing their way out of his head.

The Unenchanted Princess is the tale of a princess born without an enchantment in a magic land where all royalty is surrounded by enchantment. Alexandra refuses to give in to her parents' schemes to find her an enchantment or marry her off to someone willing to overlook her lack. She runs away to escape, but soon learns she is at the heart of a struggle to control the Magic Lands.

Together with the Frog Prince, a Prince Charming who is turned into a crow and a young woman from a land where magic is forbidden, she must learn how to defeat her enemy and dispel the last enchantment.
