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

 "The enchantments were not intended to be an expedient way of deciding who will marry who. In school, we learned the nature and some of the history of each enchantment, but nothing about their purpose. We have assumed that they have always been an integral part of our culture. They are just there. That is why my parents were so upset when I failed to be given an enchantment. But there must be more to it than that. The person who enchanted Jordon stated that they were no longer playing by the rules. Rules mean some agreement about purpose, and an agreement that it is to everyone's advantage to obey the rules."
