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

Maisie ran off. Neje didn't wait to watch but slipped through the halls to find a secret panel that she had played with as a child. The passage led to the bottom of the stairs to her mother's chambers. Neje waited and listened for the signal.


Jordon flew through the courtyard and called his challenge to the other crows. They had been waiting for him and immediately surrounded him. The prince led them through an open window in the castle then sent them off to cause whatever mischief they could. He hoped Neje was in place, because she wasn't going to have much time.


The rumors of the princess's return and the pandemonium of the crow invasion reached the Queen at the same time. She screamed in rage and went running out of her rooms. She knew who was the cause of this. That snippet of a girl in the dungeon.


Neje heard the Queen run past and counted to thirty, then she opened the door and began climbing the stairs to the Queen's rooms.
