Prologue
“Once upon a time...”
All the best stories start with 'once upon a time', don't they? The
magical stories, the stories of love and loss and finding them again,
when pumpkins turn into coaches, and glass slippers don't cut your
feet. Ah, yes, the fairytales. “In a land not so far from here...”
Oh, mixing things up, are we? “Well, I won't start with the
introduction, let's just start.”
This is no fairytale.
There is definitely loss,
definitely transformations, and definitely blood. This is not a
fairytale, and I'll warn you: it's no easy ride, and there's only
sort of a happy ending. Well, it's happy for the main character, I
suppose...
