The Princess and the Shoemaker

Cornelius Shoemaker will make one last pair of shoes this Yule, and then he is shuttering his doors. He can't keep making shoes no one wants to buy. But when Gwen, a beautiful fairy, picks his shop to spend her Yuletide nights in, everything changes. The Princess and the Shoemaker is a short tale of love, family, and sweetpunk magic, where mistletoe kisses hold the promise of happily-ever-after.

The Princess and the Shoemaker is a cozy, closed-door, holiday romantasy inspired by the fairy tale "The Elves and the Shoemaker." While this is a standalone novella, readers familiar with Smoke, Steel, & Ivy will notice some returning characters.
