Fairy Tales Retold

Surrendered to a powerful witch at birth, RapAnn doesn't know her parents. When she resists becoming the mistress of a lecherous roué, her guardian imprisons her in a tall tower as punishment. There, she has only the music of her voice and the company of the birds for comfort. Prince Kenzie, hearing her song, vows to free her, but the tower lies in the grip of the witch's dark magic. Even if their love survives the spell, how can RapAnn, deceived by illusion, ever see the truth in Prince Kenzie's eyes?

When a spell to rid Regis Towne of rats goes awry, Marquell and Grandfather Rat are transformed into men.

Meanwhile Marquell must navigate the world of his lifelong enemies and survive the selfish demands of the wizard's vain fiancée. Many injustices are heaped upon the household's solitary maid, Constanze, but she soon finds Marquell will defend her honor and share her burdens, while their friendship becomes far more. But can it last? Constanze doesn't know her valiant swain is actually a rat. Will telling her change everything? Or will Marquell sacrifice his identity and remain a man for the sake of love?
