    About this ebook

    A curious security guard breaks the rules.
    An aggressive scavenger tracks a magical hoard.
    A zealous petitioner asks a question.
    A cursed princess learns the truth.
    An introverted fairy defies her sisters.
    A repulsive priest breaks his solitude.

    Six bite-sized stories pursue connections both unique and mundane, proving that ugly is only skin deep, and affinity doesn’t always seek its own.
