"Heroes and Villains is close to my heart. It's been a passion project for longer than you would believe. I wrote it because I think folks are sick of heroes getting everything in these classic fairy tales. Hence, the radically different endings for Snow White, Prince Charming, and all the rest. Something different for a modern audience.
What happens when villains win the day?" -- Isaac Heller, the author.
The sixth book in the Dreams Series.
This book however is altered from the original tale we know. The original Author's work has been altered. This story does not first take place when a freshly eighteen-year-old girl is awaiting her Princeton college interview.
No, it begins with the heroic tale of Rumplestiltskin, a heroic knight and slayer of ogres. He is happy with his son, Baelfire, who is married to a woman Cass, as they raise Cass's nephew, Hiro, and Baelfire's niece and nephew, Evangeline and Sebastian. Rumplestiltskin is happily married to his wife, Belle, and their new son.
Regina, the poor girl who was abandoned by her mother as a baby, is on the run as a bandit after destroying the happiness of the queen, Snow White, after her actions led to the death of Snow's true love, James. Snow White was then forced to marry James's twin brother, David. Snow took his heart, controlling him as he puppet.
But the story's big climax is the wedding of Robin Hood and Zelena.
You'll definitely want to stay tuned for what comes next.
"New year, new us..."
Diana rolled her eyes as she turned to look at Lydia from her place in the passenger's seat of her best friend's car.
"New you?" She almost scoffed, reaching for her bag on the backseat and shaking her head at the way Lydia extended a hand out to her, expecting her to pass her her own bag. "You're lucky I love you."
Lydia winked over at Diana in a silent thank you for her bag, already far too used to the blonde's little quirks.
"You are lucky I love you because you had the chance to be dating one of the lacrosse guys and you still choose not to be." She said, causing Diana to groan silently.
"I don't want to date him."
"You could start dressing better then, at least."
"I dress fine."
"I'm just saying, since this is a new school year, you could try..."
"I'm not changing anything about myself." Diana interrupted Lydia before the girl could start with her long and very boring speeches about being perceived better around the school. "But you? You could maybe change your boyfriend."
"Stop." Lydia rolled her eyes pushing open the car door as if to actually walk away from Diana and her own need of always listing out the number of reasons why she didn't particularly like Jackson Whittemore. "I'm not breaking up with him."
