Generations ago Dorothea had an ancestress who irked two elemental sorceress sisters. In return the sisters cursed Dorothea's line, but they were young and inexperienced witches: instead of cursing the girl who challenged their plans, one of her descendents would inherit the curse and destroy Story with flames. Until the curse manifests and burns itself out Dorothea is locked inside the Emerald Palace.
Tired of being locked inside her home and each moment of her day being dictated and scheduled, Dorothea begins to act out. The princess has been trained as a spoiled, materialistic brat. Her parents announce an engagement Between Dorothea and Prince Kato and it drives her to make a reckless wish. As Dorothea herself tells the reader - A badly worded wish is worse than any curse.
When the rules and laws of magic begin to deteriorate and unravel Dorothea ventures out with Prince Kato and the kitchenmaid Rexi to find a solution. For a girl who had never left the palace Dorothea discovers that sometimes fate is something she makes for herself and her subjects.
Set in the land of stories and centering on the Princess of the Emerald City Spelled is filled with fairy tale language, unexpected romance, and not one, but two evil witches bent on seeking revenge. Readers will enjoy Dorothea's sarcasm and spunk while following her about Story.
