Yet as they adventure across the kingdom, they discover that they bring out the very best in the other person.

If you’re looking for a quality story featuring LGBTQIA characters, consider picking this one up!” ― The Mary Sue " Princess Princess Ever After is as bright, sweet and positive a fairy tale as you could hope to read, a big-hearted fable where the boxes we're expected to fit into are simply dragons to be slain." -- John Allison, author of GIANT DAYS About the Author K.
