The Prince's Guide to True Love's Kiss {Published Version}

[Story will be available on Radish] Prince Benedikt is on a mission to find his True Love, but more so, he has a duty to his kingdom to fulfill. As a prince of Stalvart, he must find his True Love by his twenty-first birthday. At twenty-one, he will begin his regency where his father will train him up to be a great king. The quest seemed simple enough, but after failing to wake fourteen maidens with True Love's Kiss, he's starting to worry that he'll never find his True Love. And he's not the only one.

With his conniving cousin, the next in line for the throne, questioning his ability to rule, the pressure is on. News that a maiden rests in the forest of Bleakwood reaches his kingdom, and Benedikt's next quest is decided. But with a resurgence of Withering Magic in the Lowlands, he must bring in special help. He teams up with a band of mercenaries, if they can be called that, to help him face the perils of Bleakwood.

Captain Grielle is a professional thief, but her and her Liberators, aren't criminals for hire. They specialize in the liberation and return of lost things, precious things, to their rightful owners. They wouldn't normally take a job like this, but the price is right. They must get Prince Benedikt to his maiden and bring him home safely, but the quest turns out to be much more than Grielle bargained for. With her past turning up to haunt her at every turn, she's made to face her demons all while trying to understand her growing feelings for the tender-hearted, ill-fated prince.
