Countless people offer theories as to the cause of princess' silence, and how it can be cured, but all fail to find the true reason. Finally, a young man arrives who doesn't mind her so-called affliction. In fact, he wants to marry her. The king declares it will be so, but only if the young man can make his daughter talk. The daring lad comes up with a plan. A kiss! A kiss will cure the lady and restore her voice. It must, for that is how fairytales go, is it not? Except, this is not an everyday fairytale and not even kisses will do the trick. It is only when the king condemns the young man to death that the princess is moved to speak. She cries out to save the man who has captured her heart. The silent princess ultimately uses the power of her voice to save the day...and the man she loves. Told in rhyme with engaging illustrations, this story can be read aloud to children of all ages or enjoyed by any child who loves a whimsical take on the traditional fairytale.

The Land of Vegetation
Once upon a time, in the Land of Vegetation, there lived a King and a Queen and a Prince and Princess in a beautiful castle. And on the edge of the capital city, there lived a wise woman in a small cottage with a big garden. These are the stories of the many vegetables that she discovered on her journeys for the Land of Vegetation. The wise woman was very good at fixing problems-like when food was too big for the Princess' mouth, or when the moon got too full and round, or when the clouds all rained at the same time and caused a flood. Whenever the Land of Vegetation faced a problem, the wise woman always found an answer and a new vegetable to go with it. Sometimes she found new vegetables very far away, and she had to walk and walk and walk to get to them. (The wise woman was very good at walking.) She went on journeys to have tea with the sun or the moon, and once she walked all the way to the edge of the Land of Vegetation to invite the mist to live in the sky and turn into clouds. Other times, the wise woman found new vegetables closer to the capital, Nutrition-like the time when the first thunderstorm happened and lightning struck the dirt, or the time when the ground was too cramped and needed to stretch out. On her many adventures, the wise woman discovered the radish, broccoli, green bean, potato, carrot, and several other vegetables for the people of the Land of Vegetation to eat. Then the wise woman packed each new vegetable in a basket and went to visit the palace so that the King and the Queen and the Prince and Princess could name it. Sometimes, the names were silly, like "overalls," and sometimes they were more serious, like "sunburn." It just so happens that the words for overalls and sunburn in the Land of Vegetation were tomato and radish. And that is how the tomato, the radish, and all of the other vegetables came to be.
Autumn’s Tithe
Every girl in Ballamor dreams of being chosen by the fey. For some, because the fey promise to deliver them to the beautiful faery realm.

Larken breaks the sacred covenant between humans and fey and enters the faery realm to find her friend. Her only ally is Finder, a faery prince of the Autumn Court who now owes her a debt after she unwittingly saves his life. Their bond is both the key to her survival... and possibly her downfall. Underneath the glittering fa癟ade of the faery realm seethes a shadowy pact writ in blood, betrayal, and lust for power at any cost. A tithe must be paid by each of the courts of Airodion.
