From the bestselling author of the Heralds of Valdemar series comes an enchanting novel. In the land of the Five Hundred Kingdoms, if you can't carry out your legendary role, life is no fairy tale.… Elena Klovis was supposed to be her kingdom's Cinderella—until fate left her with a completely inappropriate prince! So she set out to make a new life for herself. But breaking with "The Tradition" was no easy matter—until she got a little help from her own fairy godmother. Who promptly offered Elena a most unexpected job.… Now, instead of sleeping in the chimney, she has to deal with arrogant, stuffed-shirt princes who keep trying to rise above their place in the tale. And there's one in particular who needs to be dealt with…. Sometimes a fairy godmother's work is never done….

Fifteen short stories with an unexpected ending, eight of which illustrated by young artists, ranging over three different genres: drama, thriller and humor. Past, present and future provide the background for men, women, murderers, drug addicts, mad scientists, aliens and tamed or very dangerous animals. The author, with his dry style that cuts the superfluous, is inspired by the writer Fredric Brown's "short stories" and the TV series "The Twilight Zone" screenwriter and director Rod Serling, by letting the reader's attention to focus on how thin is that ice layer on which our daily life rests, more or less safe.
