Unfortunately, eight years of mistreatment, isolation, and clandestine book learning hardly prepared Eleanor for life at Eclatant Palace, where women are seen, not heard. According to Eleanor's eavesdropping parrot, no one at court appreciates her unladylike tendency to voice her opinion. To make matters worse, Gregory Desmarais, Crown Prince of Cartheigh, spends his last night of bachelorhood on a drunken whoring spree. Before the ink dries on her marriage proclamation, Eleanor realizes she loves her husband's best friend, the intellectual, surprisingly sensitive former soldier, Dorian Finley. As Gregory's mercurial nature comes to light, Eleanor wrestles with her feelings for Dorian, flounders in her new role, and makes powerful enemies--foes who use Eleanor as a scapegoat in a magical plot to unseat the royal family. Eleanor Brice is a princess. She lives in an enchanted castle. She even has her own unicorn. But she's lived through childhood trauma, she has insecurities and anxieties, and she makes dreadful relationship choices. In short, she's a real woman in a fairy tale world, and this is her happily-ever-after. $c --Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20200918. 650 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Princes $v Fiction. 650 $a Spousal abuse $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. 830 $a Cracked slipper series ; $v 1. 830 $a Cracked slipper series ; $v 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20201006011351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=47A3DB1A079911EB91AE0FFD35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
