About This Book

A fairy tale follows a lunar princess who leaves her celestial home to visit the Earth, joining a court of sunlit and sea-born beings. The narrative moves through episodic adventures: wedding guests explore ocean caverns; enchantments turn fairies into mockingbirds; encounters with marsh dwellers and the Rainbow Sisters unfold; a sun princess appears; and stories of a jewelled beach, a lost ocean, and Princess Sunset are told. The tale darkens when the moon-born heroine is seized by a black dwarf and is ultimately freed through the courage and aid of the sun prince, blending lyrical imagery with trials and a restorative rescue.
