**A USA Today "Must-Read" Series!** Over 1400 pages of magic, adventure, and fairy tale romance. This box set includes all four full-length books in the Once Upon a Curse series, plus the prequel novella. On a Saturday in spring, an earthquake strikes the entire globe. Cities disappear, replaced by villages that seem torn from storybooks—horses and carriages, cobblestone streets, towering castles, and, most importantly, magic. A world that was once dominated by devices goes dark and a new power rises. What happens when the fairy tales become real? What's stronger, magic or modern technology? What's more powerful, a curse or true love? Read the series to find out… Granting Wishes (An Aladdin Retelling): When an earthquake strikes in the middle of her rock climbing trip, Alanna plunges to what she expects will be her death. Instead, she falls into a cave full of magic, where a mysterious man makes her an offer she can't refuse. Gathering Frost (A Sleeping Beauty Retelling): Under the spell of an evil queen, Jade is a hardened warrior who has forgotten what it is to feel anything at all. But when a runaway prince kidnaps her and brings her to his rebel base, she begins to question her loyalties. Withering Rose (A Beauty and the Beast Retelling): Sick of spending her life in hiding, Omorose flees to the realm of the beasts where her forbidden magic might be accepted. When she arrives, all she finds is a brooding shifter prince with no interest in hosting guests. Chasing Midnight (A Cinderella Retelling): Seeking revenge for her sister's death, Nymia agrees to retrieve a long-lost princess for her family, but what she's really after is the girl's magic. Turns out, so is a reckless prince who's too charming for his own good. Parting Worlds (A Little Mermaid Retelling): For her entire life, Aerewyn has been warned not to trust humans. But when she stumbles upon an injured boy in the woods, the only thing he seems in danger of is dying. So she saves his life, and changes the fate of both their worlds. If you like charming trickster princes, avenging fairy godmothers, and princesses who save themselves, don't miss the Once Upon a Curse series! Now for a limited time, save when buying this box set compared to the individual books.

Lion, raccoon, bird, tiger, fox, bear, squirrel, and monkey unite in an unlikely adventure. They've all been whisked away to various national parks, where they learn in exciting new ways. "Ice cold water pricked her skin, threatening to swallow her whole with its freezing essence. She bobbed to the surface, gasping for air. Then, the river churned her under once again, and she tumbled along the round formations bubbling along the river bottom. Her shoulder hit rock and she cried out in pain. Occasionally, she thought she saw a white flash, once on a rock, once on the river bank near him, and even in the water around her." The animals join together under a common occurrence; when Mother Nature seeks them out individually. They each have a quest that they want to fulfill... but will nature let them?

Or had he truly lived a previous life?
