A retelling of the Grimm fairytale Cat-Skin. As most Grimm fairytales, this story gets a little weird. There's some... incesty things, but it's all chill and definitely not their darkest story, but it's a favorite of mine.
Princess Abbigail Barawyn is healing from the death of her mother when she is forced to flee from her home and family. She must hide her identity and find a place for herself in a neighboring kingdom, but when she peaks the interest of her new king, staying hidden won't be easy.
King Damien Reinhold was passed the crown at a very young age after the passing of his father. The pressure from his court and kingdom to marry and provide a queen and heirs is growing unbearable. To find suitable young royalty, a two day ball is thrown, but he simply can not keep his eyes from wondering to a strange young girl that works in the palace kitchens.
