What if every story you'd ever heard was true? Jack killed the
giants. Red slayed the wolf. Rapunzel fled the tower. But the
greatest one of all, had yet to be told. Once upon a time, the
magical Kingdom of Avalon was left to wither and die after the Snow
Queen encased it in ice. Its former citizens are now refugees.
Which is why crown prince Alex and his protectors are stuck in...
Arizona. Tala Makiling has lived her life as an outsider. Her
family curse, the one that's doomed her to be a spellbreaker,
someone who destroys magic, hasn't won her too many friends. Except
Alex, who trusts her and her family to keep his royal identity a
secret. And then one night, a famous creature of legend, the
Firebird, appears in their tiny town, reigniting hope for their
abandoned homeland. Alex and Tala team up with a ragtag group of
new friends to journey back to Avalon. Their path is filled with
danger-from deadly prophecies, to terrifying ice wolves, a traitor
among them, and the Snow Queen herself. But if they succeed...
their story would be legendary. "A great read for fans of fairy
tales, myths and legends... Come for the adventure, stay for the
sassy jerkwad firebird."-Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times
