Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the bestselling author of the Heralds of Valdemar series comes an enchanting new novel. In the land of Five Hundred Kingdoms, if you can't carry out your legendary role, life is no fairy tale... Elena Klovis was supposed to be her kingdom's Cinderella — until an accident of fate left her with a completely inappropriate prince! Determined not to remain with her stepfamily, Elena set out to get a new job — and ended up becoming the Fairy Godmother for the land. But "Breaking with Tradition" was no easy matter. True, she didn't have to sleep in the chimney, but she had to deal with arrogant, stuffed-shirt princes who kept trying to rise above their place in the tale. In fact, one of them was so ornery that Elena could do nothing but change him into a donkey. Still, her practical nature couldn't let him roam the country, so she brought the donkey — er, the prince! — home to her cottage to teach him some lessons. All the while keeping in mind that breaking with tradition can land everyone into a kettle of fish — sometimes literally! And so begins a whole new tale... Review:"Lackey has created an intelligent, self-possessed heroine with whom many readers will identify." Publishers Weekly Review:"[A] charming tale of myth, magic, and fairytale lore laced with romance....Original, fascinating, and full of marvelous potential." Library Journal Synopsis:Now in paperback — the bestselling fantasy author turns traditional fairy tales on their heads in this new tale.
