A Clean Fantasy Retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk
Some fairies ruin everything.
Eva never doubted her place in her happy little world. Born second to a former woodcutter-turned-wealthy merchants family, all she ever wanted was care for her siblings and to play her harp. Unfortunately, when her fairy godfather’s gift-giving goes awry, Eva receives an unusual talent that gets her abducted and betrothed to a loathsome duke with malicious plans for the kingdom. And if Eva doesn’t obey? The duke will kill the king.
Jack never ventured far from his mother’s farm. But when Eva’s fairy godfather–in an attempt to fix his goddaughter’s plight–forces Jack to take some magic beans and responsibility for saving Eva, Jack finds himself in as much danger as the girl he’s been sent to save.
In this clean fantasy fairy tale retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, follow Jack and Eva as they attempt to outsmart the duke, save the kingdom, and just possibly find their own happily ever after as well.
An Unnatural Beanstalk is a romantic fairy tale novella. It can be read on its own but is more fun when read as a part of the Entwined Tales, a series of interconnected fairy tales by six different authors. Each story follows the adventures of one of seven children from the same family as they seek out their own happily ever afters in spite of their reluctant fairy-godfather.
