In the kingdom of Alva, there was a prince. His name was William, William Castile. Blessed by the faeries, he was gifted many things. He was strong, cunning, hardworking, and faithful to his kingdom. However, that doesn't mean he lacks character. He extended his hands to the people, loved the orphans, and comforted the widows. He was an example for the people-children, men, and women alike. So, where is he? In a grove. Asleep forever. Or at least that's what the tale says.
According to the books, there was a faerie named Aquila. She favored him and eventually grew to love him. Forming a plan, she asked him to meet her in a grove, far from human eyes. He rode to where she was and rejected her love. In rage, she cursed him to sleep forever. The only way to wake him up? His true love.
That's just fantasy.
Or is it?
Now it's been a century and there was a woman who came across a grove...

To Marry a Dragon
||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract.
