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.

The Unenchanted Princess

In the morning Princess Alexandra woke with a splitting headache and an upset stomach. Prince Jordon came in moments after she awoke carrying a steaming cup. The fragrant steam began clearing her head immediately. As she sipped at the tea Prince Jordon explained that it was an herbal recipe given to him by an aunt. Alexandra blessed that aunt as she felt herself returning to her normal self. That was when she noticed that Prince Jordon was leaning over her with a proprietary air. The tent was small, and the princess had no room to move away. Whatever it was that the prince was thinking it was making Alexandra more and more uncomfortable. Snatches of the previous evening were coming back to her, and she could see where the shift in Jordon's attitude was coming from, and she could see where it could lead to trouble. She sighed; as long as Herbert was around that would keep Jordon at a distance. That, of course, would cause its own problems.
