Publisher's summary

The second set of interconnected stand-alone fairy tale retellings from the Four Kingdoms series

Book 3 - The Princess Pact: A Twist on Rumpelstiltskin: Marie, the dutiful princess of Northhelm, chafes under the rigid protocol that governs her life. Then a growing darkness threatens the kingdom and uncovers the lie at the center of her whole life - a single pact that changes everything.

Novella 3.5 - A Midwinter's Wedding: A Retelling of The Frog Prince: Princess Cordelia is used to being overshadowed by her many brothers and sisters. So when she's offered the chance to attend her brother's wedding in a faraway kingdom, she leaps at it. In Northhelm, she'll finally have the chance to stand out. And maybe, just maybe, she'll even find romance.

Book 4 - The Princess Game: A Reimagining of Sleeping Beauty: In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, it's only the princess's mind that is asleep. And sometimes appearances can be deceiving.

Better Fairy Tales

I have always loved the story of Sleeping Beauty. Celeste’s story was more than I could have imagined. Esther’s subtle differences between when she was Aurora and when she was the princess were fantastic and made everything clear. This is definitely a set I’ll listen to again and again. 💜

Addictive, my favorite of her sets!

I feel as though Into the Woods and Maleficient are based on new version of Snow White. so good!

Creative and delightful!

I loved how all the stories led into each other and the twists to the original fairytales were delightful. Anyone who likes Fabian’s the important lessons they teach will enjoy these stories.

Such a great listen!!! Clean, fun romance

Really just can’t recommend enough! It’s so nice to have an intriguing story, great narrator, developed characters and no language or sex scenes! This is everything good AND it’s a set so basically 3 for 1!

Great stories and great reader!

I love this series! Having it in a box set made it a lot easier to grab with credits too. Esther Wane does an AMAZING job with the performance of these books, and is very pleasant to listen to. The stories written my Melanie are so fun. She weaves them in a way that even though you’re listening to a well-known fairytale, you still don’t know what’s coming next. They are fun and light hearted to listen to, and super clean!

So refreshing!

Equally filled with mystery and action, yet so very sweet and romantic This retelling of older stories brought a fresh look to them. It was well written and made even more enjoyable by the narrator. I thoroughly enjoyed this boxed set!
