Spinning Wheels and Evil Spells
(2026)(A book in the Reimagined Fairy Tale Mashups Collection series)
A novel by Kristen Landon
Two Spinning Wheels. Two distant kingdoms. Two evil spells that threaten the lives of a princess and a prince.
On her sixteenth birthday, Briar Rose is snatched right out of the celebration feast in the palace ballroom by an evil spell. It plunks her down in the cottage of Rumpelstiltskin, the strangest little man she’s ever met. He’s just as surprised as she is, and the two of them come to realize that the spell wasn’t meant for her. Years earlier, Rumpelstiltskin cast a spell on Prince Marrum, the son of the miller’s daughter he helped by spinning straw into gold. Somehow, that spell got mixed up with the spell someone else cast on Briar Rose.
The pampered princess is forced to set out on a quest to fetch Prince Marrum. Only after she brings him back to Rumpelstiltskin, will he be able to send her home.
Because of Briar Rose''s blunders, the plan falls apart. She’s forced to make the long journey back to her kingdom on foot with the unhappy prince as her escort.
But an evil spell-caster as well as an adversary of Marrum’s family have an agenda of their own.
Will Briar Rose and Prince Marrum be able to avoid more evil spells and save their lives and their kingdoms?
Find out in this exciting reimagined fairytale mashup featuring characters from Sleeping Beauty and Rumpelstiltskin.
