It's time for this week's Tuesday's Tantalising Teaser!
***
Teaser:
Birthdays were wretched, delicious things when you lived in
Beau Rivage. The clock stuck midnight, and presents gave way to magic.
Curses bloomed.
Girls bit into sharp apples instead of birthday cake,
chocked on the ruby-and-white slivers, and collapsed into enchanted sleep.
Unconscious beneath cobweb canopies, frozen in coffins of glass, they waited
for their princes to come. Or they tricked ogres, traded their voices for love,
danced until their glass slippers cracked.
A prince would awaken, roused by the promise of true love,
and find he had a witch to destroy. A heart to steal. To tear from the rib
cage, where it was cushioned by bloody velvet, and deliver it to the queen who
demanded the princess's death.
Girls became victims and heroines.
Boys became lovers and murderers.
And sometimes... they became both.
