Stolen apples. Divided lovers. A bungled curse.
Young Princess Helena of Kielce despises her tormentor, Prince Kazik of Ostrów, until the day she realizes the boy actually likes her and true friendship blossoms. In time, their royal parents arrange a betrothal, but first the princess vanishes, then the prince, and the entire region falls under a strange curse.
Five years later, a girl known as Lenka the Archer tends a lonely golden-apple tree and wonders who she really is. Serving in the King of Trinec’s magical garden is a worthy position, but how did she and the tree come to be there? When golden apples go missing and the king’s two sons fail to identify the thief, the task falls on Lenka, who catches a golden bird in the act. Instead of shooting it, she receives from the bird one golden feather and a promise.
After the princes go in search of the elusive bird and vanish, the king orders Lenka to bring back the golden bird, the apples it stole, and the two missing princes. While disguised as a man and guided by a talking fox, Lenka takes on impossible challenges in unexpected places . . . and absolutely nothing goes as planned.
Will the stolen princess find her true self and her beloved prince? Can she rescue her homeland from its hopeless tangle of magic and mayhem?
Feathered Thief is a standalone no-spice fairy-tale reimagining of Grimms' The Golden Bird, featuring fabulous creatures and childhood sweethearts trapped between an evil duke and a bungling fairy godfather. Join Lenka on her tangled quest to rescue three golden treasures in this tale of the series "All That Glitters," a 12-book series brimming with Tales of Treasure and True Love. Each book stands alone and is written by a different author, so choose your next romantic adventure and remember… not all that glitters is gold!
