You think you know these stories, don't you? You are wrong. You don't know them at all. Twelve tales, twelve dangerous tales of mystery, magic, and rebellious hearts. Each twists like a spindle to reveal truths full of warning and triumph, truths that free hearts long kept tame, truths that explore life... and death. A prince has a surprising awakening... A beauty fights like a beast... A boy refuses to become prey... A path to happiness is lost... then found again.
