Produktbeschreibung

Robert, ruler of the kingdom of Orgon, has three daughters: Karen, Winnifred, and Daria. Karen, the eldest, is an herbalist. Thus, when a young man named Mark becomes the herbal gardener at the manor of a duke, Karen meets him when she comes to the manor, and he helps her pick herbs. But during one visit, Mark stumbles on an attempt by the music and dance instructor for the princesses to seduce Winnifred. After Mark interferes to protect Winnifred, his attempt to comfort an anxious Karen causes them both to realize that they have fallen in love. But since Karen is a princess and Mark is a commoner, the difference in class puts a huge barrier in the way of them being together. Fortunately for both, Alberich-the crown prince of a troop of faeries underneath Orgon-is aware of the situation. And he has a plan to help Karen and Mark get together while helping Karen protect Winnifred from future danger. The plan is simple: the princesses will travel to the faerie realm every night and dance, and when King Robert discovers that Winnifred's shoes have been worn out, his efforts to uncover the truth will enable Karen to be with Mark-but only when Mark is tasked to do so. However, Mark chooses to be part of the Orgonian army when a neighboring king decides to invade Orgon, which is another obstacle. But faeries are very patient. And hopefully, nothing will stand in the way of true love.

Autorenporträt

Jaclyn Su Harris was born in 1972 and was placed for adoption at six years old. It was love at first sight for her parents. Soon they became aware of a few of her behavioral quirks, and testing began for her. This led to an early diagnosis at eight years old of borderline educability, which did not ring true because they knew she was reading already at three years old. By then, she was already on special trial, attending two special schools, and then as a junior was transferred to the local high school. There, she attended honor courses and graduated third in her class. She then took another year while also attending a college course on ancient history. Someone asked her professor about her ability, and his answer was "I've got a student in that class who knows more about ancient history than I do." He then said she should be attending Ursinus College right now. Soon after that, a friend helped her enter into that college. She proceeded to graduate with high honors, majoring in English and minoring in Spanish. After graduation, she acquired a library position at her local community college, where she worked for fifteen years until a later move to North Carolina and then onto Oregon. Looking back to graduation day, a favorite professor asked, "What now, Jaci?" Her answer was "I want to write a novel." And here is her first attempt at "what now," hoping to acquire fans of teenage and young adult fiction. She is currently working on novel no. 2, which takes place in Japan.
