About the Book

A cursed princess, a price too high to pay, and a prince who wants to avoid it all.

Princess Jadia and her sisters are trapped under a curse—one that shreds their dancing slippers and binds their words so they can’t tell anyone about it. As a result, no one else knows of the danger lurking beneath their feet.

After spending three years as a swan, the last thing Prince Orion needs to deal with is another curse. The king of Ronen begs him to solve the mystery behind the princesses’ ruined dancing slippers, and his offer of Jadia’s hand as a reward only discourages Orion further. Why compete for a hand he doesn’t want?

Orion and Jadia have known each other all their lives—and disliked each other almost as long. And yet, their parents think they’re the key to an alliance against the evil plaguing the Realms. An intricate dance entwines the reluctant pair ever closer despite their querulous history. Could losing their hearts be exactly what all of Caelia needs?

Realms of Caelia is a series of interconnected combined fairy tale retellings. Each book weaves two traditional tales together into a unique story. They are best enjoyed in order. If you like sweet and clean romances, moments of hilarity, and magical fairy tales with happily ever after endings, then Realms of Caelia is for you!
