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.

The Unenchanted Princess

Alexandra was in a foul mood. The weather had been horrible for weeks on end. Everything was a sea of mud. She had thought that expecting their first child would be a cause for celebration. Instead it had become a subject for a constant wearying argument. This morning had ended like far too many mornings recently.


"Alexandra," Herbert had said. "You can't give some evil fairy's name to our child just to break an enchantment."


"We can't let him win," she replied. "We have to break the enchantment. This is the only way."


"It is the only way that we know of," Herbert said. "We need to rely on Jordon and Rapunzel."


"But we haven't heard from them in so long," she said. "What if they are lost? We must do what we can." She turned to the window and looked out at the rain. "Our child will be royalty, she will understand."


"So she will have the enchantment that you never had?"
