Once upon a time . . .
A baby is born in privilege, blooming under the warmth of his parents' love. Jealousy sprouts and brings with it malevolent intentions. A king and queen cursed with an empty kingdom. A child abandoned in revenge.
A misfit, the boy should turn hard and cold among the thorns he grows in. Despite lifelong attempts to destroy him, this child does not wither. Underneath his insecurity, he maintains a heart with the tenderest center. A heart that plays the most beautiful music.
Not far from this misfit but in a whole different world, a dashing prince lives with a crown of expectations adorning his golden head. A prince raised with honor and duty. A prince expected to marry.
Alas, during a simple walk in the forest, he is enchanted by a different song. And so a fairy tale is woven, two worlds colliding, secrets revealed, love everlasting . . . And a realization that not all fairy tales require a princess.
Contains mature themes.

Would have preferred if John Solo would have narrated the whole audiobook as I found his voice more suiting to both characters. I like the other narrator in his other projects, but in this story every time Fletchers POV was narrated it jolted me out of the story as he sounds very defensive in both POVs. Joel Leslies‘ interpretation of Ethan sounded snobbish and overbearing while John Solos Ethan sounded endearing, mesmerized, protective and charming. Really goes to show that the script can change its meaning just through intonation. It’s the first time there is such a discrepancy between multiple POV for me
