Step into a world of dark enchantments, clever heroines, and timeless magic in this beautifully crafted collection of fairy tales. Mary De Morgan’s stories are rich with wit, wonder, and just enough shadow to make the light shine brighter.

In The Necklace of Princess Fiorimonde, a vain and beautiful princess uses magic to protect her throne—but at a terrible cost.
The Wise Princess tells of a girl who outwits fate with courage and cleverness.
In The Heart of Princess Joan, love proves stronger than any spell.

These and other tales explore themes of vanity, kindness, bravery, and the power of choice, all wrapped in elegant Victorian prose. Perfect for fans of traditional fairy tales with a slightly darker edge.

For readers who love Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, and Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber.
