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 bestselling author of
