Thanks to my friend Sydney for introducing me to
this enchanting book. Using a character
full of courage and spunk, Merrie Haskell weaves together two different fairy
tales: Twelve Dancing Princesses and Beauty and the Beast.
Reveka is a young herbalist who takes it upon
herself to figure out how to break a curse, which causes the 12 princesses to
wear away their shoes every night, and which has caused a deathless sleep to
overcome any and all people who have ventured to break the curse. Agreeing to be the bride of a zmeu (type of
dragon), Reveka is able to save her father and the princesses. But can she find a way to heal the sleepers
and heal the Underworld?
