What can Elle Jarreau, a seasoned woman with a skewed view on love, learn about the verity of fairy tales from a man nine years her junior? Apparently a thing or two. "I don't believe in fairy tales; only acquainted with reality. I understand there are people who are genetically damaged in the womb. Some of these people, like me, are destined to be alone. We're too strong willed; our power too potent and can destroy all around if wielded." Jackson Q. Hunter isn't your average twenty-six year old. Forced to be a man before his time by his very wealthy father, Jackson is especially conversant on commitment and crowning a woman. "Fairy tales don't always have to be a forsaken concept. Sometimes it's a matter of viewing it from the right perspective. Sometimes you have to simply choose a more suitable illustrator. Even we haunted cynics can find liberation in the mendacity of fairy tales. Sounds like your demons would fit nicely in my haunted closet with the rest of my iniquities." As secrets are unveiled and nightmares illuminated, see what they learn about self-acceptance and self-forgiveness when they find redemption through their mirrored self-exiled darkness.
