I’m so excited to reveal the next cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!
I love how cute and rural this one is, and I haven’t read a King Thrushbeard retelling before so I’m really excited for this one!
When a prince disguised as a beggar accidentally marries a mocking princess, true identities and hearts are put at risk in this retelling of King Thrushbeard.
This book is one of twelve in our upcoming series of well-known fairytales retold from the Prince’s point of view. The Beggar Prince will be released on 6 October!
Blurb
An unwilling suitor. A mocking princess. A marriage they both abhor.
Diplomacy and a demanding mother send Thorben of Hauke to a neighboring kingdom, there to present himself as candidate for marriage to their princess. Beautiful Leonie of Elisia is famous for insulting every suitor she receives, and Thorben banks on her dismissing him as well—which she does, with vicious aplomb.
This time, though, her ridicule proves her father’s breaking point. The King of Elisia vows that Leonie will marry a beggar, and Thorben departs inwardly applauding the punishment… until a terrible storm deposits him tattered and bedraggled at the castle’s kitchen door. Before he can weasel out of his mishap—or even pull rank—the marriage is done.
But what’s legal in Elisia might not be in Hauke. Disguised as a beggar, Thorben leads Leonie home to secure an annulment.
If he’s lucky, he’ll get it without revealing his true identity… and before losing his heart to his exquisite but sharp-tongued bride.
The Beggar Prince, a retelling of King Thrushbeard, is book 2 of Once Upon a Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.
We’ll be revealing a new cover every week until all twelve are out in the open, so keep your eyes peeled for more of the Once Upon a Prince series covers!
