- BOOK ONE OF THE HOPE SERIES - You know that story - the one about a Scottish princess? Merida? Yeah, that wasn't real; Disney wanted you to think she ended up having a happy ending. She hadn't gotten that, what she got was worse. What she got was a curse that, originally, wasn't meant for her. What she got was her bravery stolen from her; will she be able to get it back? Will she be able to do what she has to without getting herself killed unknowingly? There's more to bravery than being brave; you have to have instincts. . . ©Characters/plot go to respective owners
