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 Prince Crow was so excited that he kept hopping from side to side of the windowsill.


"I found him. Me. Followed nasty fairy to dark, dark place. Hear voices. Hear not-crow Jordon."


Rapunzel wanted to rush right out and rescue Jordon, but she knew that would be a mistake. She sat and thought for a long time, rubbing the crow's head.


"Do you think you could guide someone to the dark place?" she asked.


"Yes, clever crow, tricky crow," announced the Prince Crow.


"He may not be able to hear you talk," Rapunzel added, "but I am sure you can do it." She went downstairs with her news.


"Are you sure of this?" asked her father after he heard her plan. "Angering a King is a very dangerous business."


"There is the Stone," said her mother quietly.


"But if she calls for the Test of the Stone, the King is required to respond," her mother said. "It is the only way to compel the King to appear."
