Iron Heinrich (The Clockwork Fairytales)

By A.B. Keuser

Melding magic and mnage in this retelling of the classic tale, The Frog Prince, Keuser has created a story that pays homage to the original while offering a story that changes the paradigm. Heinrich's loyalty to his prince earns him an iron corset when his iron fairy queen turns her stepson into a clockwork frog. The metal around his waist is not as painful as the potential loss of his closest friend. Maximillian's curse traps him as an iron frog until moonlight touches him. Naked and accosted by ruffians drunk on enchantment, he plunges into a forest laced with silver magic. Sunlight drags him back under his stepmother's spell.Silvia finds a discarded iron frog amid the silver leaves of her mother's forest. Iron and silver do not mix. The feud between the two fairies has stretched through eons. Curiosity outweighs caution and she hides it away in her secret tower workshop.When the frog turns into a man who makes her knees week, a trespassing knight makes her think wicked things, and a mysterious figure tries to kill her, she finds more problems than answers. Helping both men and keeping one a secret won't work. But will loving two men cursed to die be her true undoing?
