Bookroo's summary

Prince Telmund, cursed to transform into a different animal each time he sleeps, finds his life turned upside down. Meanwhile, Princess Amelia, skilled yet trapped by royal expectations, is kidnapped by the menacing Prince Sheridan. As chaos looms over their kingdoms, Telmund and Amelia's paths cross. Together, they must navigate a world of magic and danger to rescue each other and secure their futures. Can they overcome their challenges and find a way to a happy ending, or will their realms fall into turmoil?

From the publisher

Telmund is a prince who loves fables. But when a hasty witch mistakes him for bully in need of paranormal punishment, he’s cursed to transform into a new animal every time he falls asleep. With his shape constantly changing, Telmund discovers that actually living in a fairy tale has its drawbacks. Amelia is a practical princess with a wide range of skills, none of which are helpful for escaping the ball her parents have thrown to select her future husband. But then the unthinkable happens: Amelia is kidnapped by the dangerous Prince Sheridan, setting off a plot that will throw the realm into chaos. As their stories become intertwined, the dreamer prince and no-nonsense princess must work together to rescue each other. Otherwise there will be no happy endings for either of their kingdoms. From Vivian Vande Velde–master of the magical romp–comes an enchanted tale of princes, fairies, and the transformative power of stories.
