About this ebook
Can a curse save Theryn's family...or will it doom them?
Princess Theryn's sixteenth birthday is here, and with it, the looming curse that threatens to cast her entire castle into a century-long enchanted sleep. But what her court doesn't know is that the young princess is determined to trigger the curse herself--and whisk her parents away from the meddling nobles intent on splitting the king and queen apart.
Theryn is certain that her family can make a fresh start when they wake up one hundred years into the future. But what she doesn't know is that curses often carry dark secrets behind their casting...and even a century isn't far enough to run from them.

The Spindle Trap
A Short Story
Today, Theryn would curse her family.
And today, she would save them.
She closed the door of the tower room and slid the bolt in place—more out of habit than any real fear she’d be interrupted. The only people left in the palace were her parents, herself, and her loyal maid, Hylda. In celebration of Theryn’s momentous sixteenth birthday—which
