Three princesses, one “perfect” kingdom, and a royal reckoning.
​
Princesses Neve, Della, and Bry are sisters-in-law, having married into the royal Charming family, and for the past thirty-plus years, they’ve been living a coveted happily-ever-after life in the idyllic kingdom of Foreverness. But royal life isn’t what it seems. Bry’s people-pleasing is exhausting her, Della’s exquisite and renowned beauty is fading with time, and Neve dreads the prospect of becoming queen one day, because power makes one a target, and she doesn’t want to be killed... again. Then, the king’s sudden death thrusts each princess into a personal quest that shows her the truth behind the kingdom’s “perfection” and challenges her sense of purpose. Will each of the royal women take her rightful place, build her new legend, and create her own new happily-ever-after, in midlife? And will the kingdom of Foreverness survive the drastic changes?
“Fairy-tale aficionados will eagerly devour this reinterpretation that explores how the past shapes the present.”

—A.C. Wise, award-winning author of Wendy, Darling and Hooked
“A refreshing reimagining of fairy-tale figures that redefines what it means to claim your happy ending.”
