“Once upon a time, a prince of the Underwater kingdoms fell in love with a fair maiden who went by the name of Roxie, Roxanne the Restless to her bibliographers.
From an early age she frolicked with a princess of the Aboveground kingdoms in a world identical to ours only much older, or younger depending upon your state of mind. After a couple of heavy nights in the Underground kingdoms, everything gets pretty out of whack, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, Princess Angel’s sexual barracuda of an evil mother planned to marry her off to a bro guaranteed to spurt out defective offspring. So along comes Jarvis the Stud – I kid you not – to save the day by dooming the world.
Protection. Protection. Protection. It’s all about DNA. You know?
Sacrificing life as she knew it, Roxie saved the world and got the prince.
Well, at least until she was kidnapped by mermaids desperate to procreate and torn asunder by crocodiles. See these boots? They’re the real deal. My Madison has the matching handbag. I had a wallet too, but left it somewhere. Be careless with your possessions and you’ll never want.
I’m guessing Roxie or Darius managed to pass you sideways through time, bro because here you are and there you were eight years ago, stumbling along that very beach. Lucky for you, Neptune owes me big time. You know? And now you owe me.”
When Grayson broke into her hotel verhenda, his words slurred and eyes bloodshot, Daria thought he was insane. But when she was pulled sideways through time by a prince called Darius who could have passed for her twin brother, her grip on reality began to slip.
It slipped further when she met her mother’s sister, Marcy for the first time. Further still when she spoke to Morgan, who tried to convince her she was the only one who could lead the children of the Underground kingdoms to safety.
Should she trust him?
Her mother’s cousin Catherine didn’t. Cat was her age but from a different time. Cat was courageous. Independent. Outspoken. Everything Daria wished she could be.
But Daria couldn’t be anyone until she’d unravelled the mystery of her first seven years, though even remembering her childhood didn’t prevent her from making the second biggest mistake of her life.
And if she could find a way to forgive herself for destroying her world, would she ever be able to believe in a happy ever after for herself and Oliver? For Cat and Darius?
Was there any such thing as a happy every after?
