"ONCE UPON A TIME"
IS TIMELESS
In a quiet fishing village seventeen years ago, one lone fisherman
rescued a child from the sea. He and his wife raised the girl,
Pearl, as their own daughter, never allowing themselves to wonder
long about where she came from -- or notice her silver hair,
usually pale skin, and wide, dark blue eyes.
Pearl grows from a mysterious child into an unusual young woman,
not always welcomed in the village. As all the other girls her age
find husbands, she has only one friend to ease her loneliness. One
very special, secret companion: Prince James.
But their friendship is shaken when trouble erupts in the kingdom
-- a conspiracy against the royal family combines with an evil
enchantment from beneath the sea. Now, just when Pearl and James
need each other most, bewitching magic and hints about Pearl's past
threaten to tear them apart...forever.

taste for killing. Now, condemned for his evil passions and
hypocrisy, he wanders the earth a vampire, cursed with first-hand
knowledge of the supernatural world he once denied existed. The
powerful relic he still possesses from his days as a Crusader has
been stolen by a rival vampire who has recruited an army of
soulless underlings to aid him in spreading evil. At the time he
learns this, Raphael has been hunting this vampire for nearly a

faith, and in the process, the question What would happen if a
