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

King Orthin sat in his rooms fuming. He had spent another day trying to convince his councilors that they needed to take action to solve the problems they were facing. Orthin thought of his daughter Avi out on a cold lake alone, except for the thousands of swans that surrounded her. There was nothing he could do to help her. He wanted to march on the Council Village. He wanted to throw that Alexandra and her froggish prince into a dungeon and force them to tell him what they were up to. He wanted his daughter back.


The Queen was sympathetic, but she insisted that there was nothing they could do. She was sure that it wasn't Alexandra's fault, but King Orthin didn't agree. There were too many changes, too many things happening. Someone was behind it all, and Alexandra was in the middle of it all.


A knock on the window interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to see a swan at his window. Orthin ran over and let the bird in.
