Escape from the Looking Glass

All good fairy tales end the same way: “They lived happily ever after and died on the same day.” But what if it wasn’t like that? What if the story of a beautiful maiden after the wedding and moving into the castle isn’t finished—only just beginning?

What if the maiden isn’t as simple as she seems, and she can win not only the prince’s heart, but his entire kingdom? No wonder so many times they tried to capture her and assign a dragon to guard her. What if the prince—now king—turned out not to be so kind and well-mannered? And darkness settled in his heart, from which it’s hard to find any rescue.

And how terrifying will the fairy tale become if the king and queen go to war against each other? And if the treacherous villains who have not disappeared from the kingdom gain power? After all, this path is like a road into the Looking Glass.

And not everyone can return from there…

So many questions—but only one answer. It will have to be found by Isabella, a fairy-tale illustrator who, overnight, becomes the owner of a business empire, a horde of enemies, and a suspect in a murder.
