AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Winter has fallen over Castle Charming: a season of frosty sports, mistletoe kisses and desperate attempts at matchmaking. Chase and Cyrus, the castle’s resident Princes Gone Wild, are behaving suspiciously well. But who is dancing their way through a stash of expensive satin slippers every night? And who is the mysterious soldier from Sarge’s past?

'All Kai wants to do is solve the mystery and write stories for his newspaper, with maybe a little lovelorn pining on the side. But his friendships in the castle collide with his professional loyalties, and he’s on the verge of losing everything he has ever wanted. Meanwhile, Dennis bottles up a secret he never meant to keep, Ziyi comes to terms with not being a princess any more, and they all have to figure out which Prince Charming is most in need of being saved.

'When you hit rock bottom, only truth and fairy cocktails will set you free…'
