Clever, Cursed, & Storied
Clever, Cursed, & Storied: A Fairy Tale Retelling
Book 2 of the Enchantment Retold Series
A damsel on a quest for magic… A terrible curse has transformed Kate’s stepsister, Annie, into a sheep. Kate knows the only hope of saving Annie is magic. With her “pet” lamb in tow, Kate flees to the North Mountains where she poses as a court storyteller, hoping to find magicians or anyone with knowledge of magic who can help. But when she becomes the personal storyteller to Prince Henry, who is bedridden and suffering from a mysterious wasting disease, Kate’s plans are derailed.
A prince in distress… Henry is demanding, rude, and completely captivated by Kate’s stories. Despite her initial annoyance, Kate begins to see the wit and passion beneath Henry’s brusque exterior. When Kate discovers Henry dancing in the mountains, she realizes that he too is under a curse that only magic can break. As Kate races against time to save both her stepsister and the prince, she finds herself falling in love with Henry. But can she save both her stepsister and her prince before it’s too late?
Clever, Cursed, & Storied is a spellbinding tale of love, sacrifice, and the power of storytelling. A retelling of the classic Scottish fairy tale, Kate Crackernuts, it is sure to captivate all readers who enjoy a happily ever after with lots of banter and swoon (and no explicit content)!
Clever, Cursed, & Storied is a standalone novel, but readers familiar with Amy’s work may recognize a few characters from Book 1 of the Enchantment Retold Series: Smoke, Steel, & Ivy.
