The Dancing Princesses

ISBN: 1664191593
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Robert, ruler of the kingdom of Orgon, has three daughters: Karen, Winnifred, and Daria. Karen, the eldest, is an herbalist. Thus, when a young man named Mark becomes the herbal gardener at the manor of a duke, Karen meets him when she comes to the manor, and he helps her pick herbs. But during one visit, Mark stumbles on an attempt by the music and dance instructor for the princesses to seduce Winnifred. After Mark interferes to protect Winnifred, his attempt to comfort an anxious Karen causes them both to realize that they have fallen in love. But since Karen is a princess and Mark is a commoner, the difference in class puts a huge barrier in the way of them being together. Fortunately for both, Alberich—the crown prince of a troop of faeries underneath Orgon—is aware of the situation. And he has a plan to help Karen and Mark get together while helping Karen protect Winnifred from future danger. The plan is simple: the princesses will travel to the faerie realm every night and dance, and when King Robert discovers that Winnifred’s shoes have been worn out, his efforts to uncover the truth will enable Karen to be with Mark—but only when Mark is tasked to do so. However, Mark chooses to be part of the Orgonian army when a neighboring king decides to invade Orgon, which is another obstacle. But faeries are very patient. And hopefully, nothing will stand in the way of true love.
