An allegorical fantasy for lovers of Rapunzel and the Chronicles of Narnia. “Was it absurd to think their queen had magic? It didn’t seem any more absurd than believing she had wings. The truth was he wanted to believe it. He needed to.” Oliver dreams of freedom, for himself and his country. His enemies live in luxury, while his kingdom is cursed in darkness. When rumors of the fairy queen reach his borders, he decides it's time to escape his prison and home. Red tries her best to be the queen her people need, but the threat of invasion has her wanting to run and hide. Oliver demands she help his kingdom, but Red doesn’t understand why she’d want to. She only wants to end the war between their kingdoms and have life return to normal. Oliver and Red change each other’s worlds forever, just not in the way they were expecting.
