Publisher's summary

Charlotte has always longed to be accepted by her older sisters. She would gladly exchange her vaunted beauty for their friendship. But they ask a far higher price. Pushed into marriage with a stranger, Charlotte is left betrayed and alone. All she knows of her new husband is that he has secrets—and that her heart beats a little faster whenever he calls her Lottie.

Princess Gwendolyn's people are different—that’s why they dwell high in the mountains, far from all other kingdoms. So she’s shocked when she discovers her mother plans to marry her by force to a stranger from outside their lands. And when she uncovers the full truth, she knows the queen's scheming has gone too far. Gwen must intervene before her mother’s destructive touch blights the entire world. If only there was someone who could help her. But the boy who was Gwen's only true friend has long since disappeared, and she'd do anything to find him. But her mother has made that impossible.

In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, a commoner and a princess must forge a friendship in order to find a path through the secrets and lies that surround them.

If you enjoy clean romance, adventure, intrigue, found families, and friendship, then try the Four Kingdoms duology now which retells one classic fairy tale across two books!

A great fairy tale

Ok, yeah, it’s a little (lot?) cheesy, but it’s a fairy tale! That’s the very reason we read them. Charming princes, fast and unrealistic true love, an afflicted princess with a kind and courageous heart, jealous sisters, cursed kingdoms, wicked villains, and elderly godmothers… Everything I signed up
for 🤓

Yeah, it was cheesy, but yeah, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to a very certain happily ever after in book 2

Content:
There’s no foul language or sex. The romance is clean and there is minimal violence. There is a High King and godmothers that appear to act as gift-bestowing guardian angels… but I wouldn’t call it truly Christian.

Can not wait for the next book

Melanie is a master story teller and her retellings of classic fairy tales are enthralling and enchanting. I am waiting for the next book to be out in audio format but have read all her other books and bonus chapters on her website and loved every one of them.
