Charming Tales Collection

By Chante Dodd

The Charming Tales Collection begins with "The Naïve Princess." A threat from a mysterious stranger has everyone on guard – except the Princess. She must learn to take life seriously, or face the consequences. The second story, "Ship Wrecked," features a plucky young woman who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Traveling across the sea has never been more dangerous than when caught in a tempestuous storm. In order to survive, she must rely on her courage to see her through the storm. The final story, "Heartbreak," features a young woman on the cusp of adulthood. She and her fiancé have just graduated high school and are celebrating the end of one journey and the start of the next in this urban fantasy tale. This coming-of-age story highlights that heartbreak doesn’t have to be an end, but rather, a new beginning.

The Naïve Princess

It was a warm night, a pleasant night, and a good time for merry-making. The guard was tired of watching his post, and a pretty girl was flirting with him. She had been drinking, and she grabbed him, teasing him. He followed her into the woods without a second thought. Nothing ever happened at the palace anyway – until tonight.

When he returned, sweaty and satisfied, a piece of parchment had been secured to the portcullis with a bloody dagger. He ripped the parchment off the blade; the words were written in blood.
