Prologue
Once upon, there was a young girl who in anger, wished her baby brother to the goblins. The Goblin King took the babe, and in pity, gave the girl a chance to win him back. 'You have thirteen hours in which to solve my labyrinth or else your baby brother will be one of us, forever.' In that time the girl made many friends, overcame many obstacles, to finally stand before the king in triumph. Unbeknownst to her, her courage, stubbornness, and defiance had won the heart of the Goblin King. He had fallen in love with her, offered her the world. 'Love me, Fear me, Do as I say and I will be your slave.' But the girl, yet innocent to the world of love, did not understand his plea. In the end she, without ever realizing the king's love, denied him; beating his labyrinth.
But if that were all that had happened we wouldn't have a story would we children?
The time in the ballroom dream had been all but a blur, neither remembered well what all had transpired. The seed of a Fae had been planted; an heir to the throne for, you see the Goblin King was a prince to all the Underground.
The High King had seen all this, and was outraged. A Fae, falling in love with a human. To the Fae, humans were beneath them, they who were as old as the earth. It is against the law to meddle with the mind of another Fae, but the King consoled himself by saying he was only doing what was best for his son. The king took the memories of that night from the two and hid them deep within their own minds.
Now, fifteen years later, a wicked plot in the courts of the Fae will call a young man to the Underground and a young woman once a girl to face the past and her dreams.
Oh, what fun we will have tonight children.
