Welcome to the wonder-filled world of
The Fairytale Trilogy, where magic is far more than smoke and mirrors . . . The three novels in this book—
Fairytale,
The Emperor’s Realm, and
The Three Crowns—chronicle the adventures of Marianne and her brother Robin as they come of age in an enchanted land where frogs talk, fantastical creatures prowl, and danger doesn’t stop at the edge of a dark forest. Though steeped in the tradition of classic fairy tales, The Fairytale Trilogy presents an engagingly fresh story with a modern sensibility.
