'There is a fairytale locked inside every heart, Waiting to be set free. Princess Ravenna learned, long ago, not to fight or resist Fate, even though Fate always seemed to be her enemy. Now, on her way to a new and much-dreaded life, she is caught between two undesirable fates, and two cruel and tyrannical kings. But Fate, never predictable, has something else in mind. A man, a hunter, in rescuing Ravenna from the clutches of those who would harm her, offers her a third option. So begins a journey of transformation as unexpected as it is beautiful. In a cursed land, with its aged king, Ravenna finds healing and love, and a place she knows she belongs. She begins to realise she must rewrite her story. And the ending, she discovers, is entirely in her own hands. The truth about endings, though, is that, without fail, they always herald new beginnings . . .' (Publisher's blurb)
